Backpack Giveaways

At the end of every summer, children in our community are beginning their race toward educational success…a full mile away from the starting line.

When a family is living paycheck to paycheck, children learn to make do with what they have– even if that means returning to school with the same backpack and without the supplies they need to succeed.

The Backpack Giveaway Program aims to connect children in need with a new backpack filled with common school supplies – but it’s not just about paper, pens, or crayons– it’s about giving the gift of opportunity in school and success in life that many children don’t receive otherwise.
