BACK TO SCHOOL Drive 2026
Our Back to School Celebration, held last August 22, was a wonderful day of fun, support, and community for children and families. Families enjoyed free school supplies and giveaways, haircuts, bounce houses, games, food, and opportunities to connect with valuable community resources.
We were proud to help students get ready for the new school year with the supplies, support, and encouragement they need to start strong.
A special thank you to our Backpack Drive partners for helping make this event possible and supporting our efforts to serve local children and families:
