Back-to-School 2023

Penfield Hope's back-to-school program assists children and youth who are clients of Penfield Hope as well as students of School 50, Mary's Place refugee children, and the ministries supported by our friends at Cabrini Parish in the City of Rochester.

You can help in three ways:

1. Go to our Amazon Wish list and have backpacks and/or school supplies shipped directly to Penfield Hope.
2. Provide a monetary donation: $40 sponsors a backpack; $60 covers supplies; and $100 gives a child a backpack filled with supplies. Write a check to: Penfield Hope, 1771 Penfield Road, Penfield NY 14526 CClick here to make an online donation.
3. Shop for backpacks and supplies and drop them off on the back pew of the west entrance of St. Joseph's Church. See list of New Supplies Needed!
