Back to School

What is Back to School?

Our Back to School ministry is part of a partnership with the Assistance League and Carlsbad Central Office to make sure every child is able to start the school year with the supplies that they need and new clothing. We supply everything that is on the school supply list, two summer outfits, one winter outfit, and shoes when available. As part of our partnership, we specifically serve children who are enrolled in Hillcrest Elementary, ECEC, Headstart and Kindergarten. Should your child be enrolled in any other school you can contact Carlsbad Central Office for assistance at 575-234-3300. This partnership allows us to both serve more children and to cater to the specific needs of the age groups each organization is assisting.
