Give a Kid a Chance is a nonprofit organization that throws a large annual back-to-school party for students, providing them with backpacks filled with supplies, haircuts, clothing, health screenings, food, and Bibles at no cost. The event started in 2006 helping 100 kids and has grown each year, helping over 2,700 students in 2010 with the help of over 400 volunteers. They are now planning for the 2011 event and need donations and volunteers to continue providing resources to students in need.
