Backpack and School Supplies Drive
Baybasi Youth Initiative participated in the 2016 Backpack and School Supply Drive organized by Children's Fund to help low-income and foster youth in San Mateo County to help them have everything they need to succeed in school this year! According to a social worker who helps distribute backpacks filled with school supplies, these contributions “made a big impact on their lives and were a huge motivation for them to start school.”
