Annual Back to School Backpack Drive
Every July, we proudly host our Annual Back-to-School Backpack Drive to help local students and families prepare for a successful school year. This community event serves more than 500 families each year by providing essential school supplies and resources to children who may otherwise face barriers to starting the school year with confidence.
Through the generosity of our donors, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners, families receive fully stocked backpacks filled with school supplies, access to free haircuts, valuable community resources, and $100 Walmart gift cards to assist with the purchase of clothing, shoes, and other back-to-school necessities.
Our goal is to ensure that every child begins the school year feeling prepared, supported, and included. By easing the financial burden on families and providing students with the tools they need to succeed, we help create opportunities for academic success and build stronger, healthier communities.
The Annual Back-to-School Backpack Drive has become a cherished tradition that brings together local businesses, community organizations, volunteers, and families in a shared commitment to supporting children and investing in their future.
Together, we can help every child start the school year with confidence and the resources they need to thrive.
