Our Back-to-School programs allow children to feel proud to walk into school that first day, filled with hope for a great school year! Each year, Metrocrest Social Services collects new school supplies for area children who cannot afford a new backpack or the supplies they need to start the school year off right. Donations of new school supplies are collected July through August.

Our holiday program allows parents the opportunity to choose food and gifts for each family member without having to pay; in this way, children don’t know that they’ve received donated gifts, and parents maintain their dignity by being able to provide for their families during the holidays.
