Each gift bag we provide includes a hand-written card with an encouraging message for the homeless and low-income student receiving brand new school clothing and shoes from My New Red Shoes. 

Print out the card template found here and decorate your own back to school greeting card for a child we serve. Feel free to make copies but they must be printed double-sided on white card-stock. Drop off or mail-in finished cards to our office at:
                                      Sobrato Center for Nonprofits - Redwood Shores 
                                      330 Twin Dolphin Drive, Suite 135
                                      Redwood City, CA 94065.

Tips and Ideas:

• Keep the messages positive. Think about what you would want someone to say to you on the first day of school.
• Make it colorful and bright! Draw a picture, add stickers, glitter, or other happy images.
• Some possible messages:

                    Happy first day of school!
                    Have a great time!
                    Have fun at school!
                    I hope you have a great first day!
