Prior to the start of each school year since 2008, MAS Bay Area has provided thousands of backpacks full of school supplies to foster and orphan children in the South Bay Area. We have expanded our reach to children of victims of domestic violence, refugee children, and children living in poverty. This year our goal is to provide backpacks full of school supplies to 1,250 local children and youth in need.

MAS Bay Area is a local chapter of the Muslim American Society, a non-profit educational and service organization. Its goal is to educate Muslims about their religion in a balanced way while encouraging civic participation, and to partner with other faith and community organizations to serve their fellow Americans.
Though the San Francisco Bay Area is a wealthy place, there are many children who cannot afford many of the most basic things in life – including school supplies. Without the right school supplies, children may have a hard time succeeding in school, which will affect how well they do for the rest of their lives.This is why MAS Bay Area does the Back to School Project every year. We help provide backpacks to children who are in the child welfare system in Santa Clara County – meaning they are orphans or foster children. We also provide supplies to children of women who have been victims of domestic violence.The first year of the project, 2008, we provided This is our 8th year of the project.
In 2015, we hope to serve 1,250 children and youth with our backpacks full of supplies. Our project almost entirely depends on individual donations.
Colored pencils, crayons, markers, glue stick, facial tissue box, #2 pencils, pencil box, eraser, binder paper and/or notebook, folders with pockets, pens, backpack, an informational card with a written description of the project and its supporters.
1. Back pack is a first step towards enabling a child to seek knowledge.
2. Knowledge is a power that can transform a child's life.
3. Know that your donation is transforming a life for a greater good.
We reach the children and youth through our community partners who are already working with those in need:

Thanks to you we are only $1000 away from reaching our goal!
Asalamoalikum and peace to our supporters,
We have only two days left to reach our goal, Inshallah. Thank you for your support and generous donations. Please help us spread the word in these last two days of Ramadan by sharing our campaign with friends and family via emails, texts and Facebook.
By the blessings of Allah we have received a financial grant, therefore we have reduced our goal from $10,000 to $7500. Right now we are close to $6500, only $1000 away from reaching our goal. Help us get to the finish line by spreading the word.
Regards,
MAS Backpack Team
