Back to School

Help a child with special needs get ready for a great school year!

CDTC’s Annual Back to School Drive kicks off in July. We need your help filling backpacks for more than 800 boys and girls!

You can help by starting a collection at work, school or any small businesses you frequent. Or simply purchase a few supplies at one of the awesome sales and drop them off.

Tips for collecting during COVID:

  • Co-workers are working remotely or your group no longer meets in person, use money apps or the mail to collect cash donations and assign one person to shop.
  • Worried about shopping in the store or can’t get to CDTC to drop off donations, shop online and have the items shipped directly to CDTC. Mark them Attn: Back to School.
  • Still not sure how to help? Make a donation to our Back to School Campaign at the bottom of this page.

Delivery Deadline: August 6th.

Please schedule your delivery in advance so we may assist you when you arrive. Contact Vickie at 954.728.1095 or vwalter@browardhealth.org.
