The first day of school is just weeks away, and dozens of Westport children still need your help. Westport Human Services has launched its annual Back-to-School and Afterschool Care Campaign to make sure every child starts the year with the supplies, clothing, and support they need to succeed.

How you can help:

1. Make a monetary gift online or in-person to support back to school resources and after-school scholarships for elementary aged children - providing safe, enriching activities for working families.
2. Donate Walmart gift cards to help families purchase backpacks, notebooks, clothing, and essentials.
3. Choose an item from Human Services Back to School Amazon Wishlist at https://a.co/5dl5BMl

“Back-to-school isn’t just about pencils and paper—it’s about giving kids the confidence and resources to learn and grow,” said Human Services Director Elaine Daignault. “Every donation helps give every child a fair start.”

• Mail checks payable to “Westport Human Services” at Town Hall 110 Myrtle Avenue, Westport, CT 06880

• Drop off gift cards at the Department of Human Services at Town Hall Monday through Friday 9am-4pm.

• Give online at www.westportct.gov/donate — WeCare Westport - select Family to Family Programs—Seasonal Program.

• Choose from the Back-to-School Amazon Wishlist at https://a.co/5dl5BMl
