Giving Homeless Kids the Tools to Thrive in School

The first day of school can be a scary and uncertain time for any child. But it poses particular challenges for the more than 24,000 New York City kids currently living in homeless shelters. These youngsters often lack the tools any child needs – including basic essentials like pens, pencils and notebooks. So Manhattan Mini Storage is once again partnering with the Coalition for the Homeless for Project: Back to School – a donation drive to supply city kids living in shelters with backpacks and other critically needed school supplies for the upcoming academic year.
