COMMUNITY BACKPACK DRIVE
K-5th Grade
We have the opportunity to support students for the upcoming school year by providing backpacks filled with school supplies for Kindergarten - 5th Grade students in our city. We aim to fill at least 250 backpacks, and with your partnership, we’re hopeful we can double our impact to 500.
Here are 3 ways you can help:
1) Purchase Supplies
2) Volunteer to Fill + Distribute Backpacks
3) Let Families Know They Can Reserve A Backpack Today!

Reserve Your Backpack

In order to serve as many students as we can, we are limiting each family to 2 backpacks.
We have 125 backpacks that can be pre-registered for and will have an additional 125 backpacks available first-come, first-served beginning at 1PM on August 9th.
