Back to School Drive 2026: A Backpack is Just the Beginning

Imagine child with a backpack in their favorite color, new shoes that fit them right, and clothing & school supplies picked just for them.

They're not worried that they don't have all their supplies or that their clothes are a little too tight from last year. They're focused and ready to learn.

We need your help to make this possible for 1,500+ local children.

Donations are due August 5th.

Our annual Back to School Drive helps children impacted by poverty and homelessness start the school year prepared, confident, and ready to learn. Because while it starts with a backpack, having all the clothing and supplies they need leads to a stronger start to the school year—and less stress for parents struggling to make ends meet.

But kids don't just need a backpack. They also need:

  • School supplies
  • Clothing
  • Shoes shoes
  • Uniforms
  • Gift cards
