It's that time of the year when you're gearing up for the back-2-school season. There's a million and one things on your checklist to accomplish before the big day, and the shops at Carousel Court are here to help!
They have big hearts over there and are engaged in their community, so while they are helping you meet your back to school needs they are helping out those less fortunate too. Come Shop-4-A-Cause at the Carousel Court on Saturday, August 15th and help make a difference in your community.
For many of our families the first day of school will be full of excitement but short on supplies. 67% of the families receiving services at ChildSafe live on an annual income of $15,000 or less. These children are living in poverty and will start school without the basic tools that are essential to their success without our help.
One small way ChildSafe helps is by supplying backpacks and school supplies for these children each year.

Benefiting ChildSafe
A percent of the proceeds from each purchase on August 15th will go to cover the costs of programs, services and back to school supplies at ChildSafe. Last year, ChildSafe served over 1,750 children who were traumatized by sexual abuse here in the San Antonio and Bexar County community. That's approximately 7 children every work day.
By gearing up for your Back-2-School on August 15th at the Carousel Court shops with a day at the spa, a hair cut, some awesome new clothes, jewelry, or just by stocking up on those back to school snacks,YOU'RE HELPING OTHERS!
