Help Us Send Kids Back to School with a Smile!
As the new school year approaches, many children in vulnerable communities are still without the basic supplies they need to succeed in the classroom. At OAA, we believe every child deserves to start the year with dignity, confidence, and the tools for learning.
That’s why we’re launching our Back-to-School Drive — and we need your help!
We’re collecting new backpacks and essential school supplies for children in need. You can make a difference by:
· Donating new backpacks and school supplies
· Sponsoring a backpack filled with school supplies for just $10 each
· Spreading the word to your friends, church, or family
You can drop off donations at: 7495 NW 7th St, Suite 1, Miami, FL 33126
Each backpack will be filled with love and essentials like notebooks, pencils, crayons, scissors, erasers and more — and hand-delivered to children in the Dominican Republic.
Together, we can fill backpacks — and hearts — with hope.
Please donate today at: https://oaausa.org/donation/ or send a Zelle to [email protected]
If you are unable to drop off items or would like to contribute a larger quantity, we can help arrange shipping.
Please contact Victoria Cedeno, our General Ministry Coordinator, with any questions: [email protected] / 786-643-1416
Thank you for being part of this mission!
