Backpacks for Students in Crisis | Orlando News

When school starts, too many kids show up without pencils, paper, or notebooks—leaving them at a disadvantage before class even begins. A Gift For Teaching is stepping in to fix that, distributing tens of thousands of backpacks packed with essential supplies to students across 120 schools in Central Florida. Facing soaring costs, teachers often pay for these basics out of pocket, but this nonprofit is lifting that burden, ensuring every child has what they need to learn—and every educator can focus on teaching, not survival. This isn’t just about supplies—it’s about leveling the playing field and building a foundation for success, one backpack at a time.
