Donations for School Supplies and Backpacks

 Donations given on this Back to School Bash page will go directly and exclusively to school supplies and backpacks for over 1000 students of Bandera County. These school supplies are made available late summer through three separate Back to School events in Lakehills, Medina, and Utopia, as well as through unique situations brought to the Hill Country Samaritans. All Bandera County students are eligible whether Public, Private, or Home Schooled. Students must be present for supplies to be given. Proof of residency or school enrollment must be shown. 

You may zero out Zeffy's fee at no expense to the Samaritans
