Did you know that parents are spending over $850 per child for back-to-school shopping this year?
The National Retail Federation 2026 Back-To-School Survey found that an average of $863.86 is being spent per child for back-to-school clothing and supplies.
These rising costs mean some kids may start the school year without the essentials they need. At KidVantage, we’re stepping up with our Pencils and Pants campaign to help bridge the gap.
Together, we can make sure every child is ready to learn and thrive! Want to make a difference? Visit https://kidvantagenw.org/back-to-school/ to learn more about Pencils and Pants and discover how you can help kids in our community.✏️👖🧡
We truly appreciate every donation and the generosity behind them. To ensure dignity for the families we serve, and to support our volunteers’ time, we kindly ask that all donated items be clean, in good condition, and never include trash.
Thank you so much for helping us maintain a positive, respectful, and safe donation experience.🧡✨
KidVantage is proud to partner with Kindering to provide support to families when they need it most. 🫂
Kindering providers visit KidVantage Hubs each week to pick up orders for the families they serve. These orders include essentials such as diapers, wipes, formula, clothing, shoes and more. ✨
Together, we can help build brighter futures!🧡
