S.T.A.R.S. is the ONLY program of its kind
that provides backpacks and basic school supplies to
public elementary, middle and high schools
so students have the tools they need the first day of school in Orange County, FL.
Although every child needs a backpack, they don't need more than one.
S.T.A.R.S.' goal is to coordinate community based and individual efforts
to efficiently and effectively assist students in need
so every child who needs a backpack gets one.
