BACKPACK PROJECT
During the summer, thanks to the incredible support of local churches and you, we were able to provide 1,200 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to children across six school districts—completely free of charge! Each backpack costs us $31 and contains approximately $156 worth of supplies.
This year, the need is just as great, and we’re committed to making an even bigger impact. Every donation helps ensure that students in our community start the school year equipped and confident. Join us in giving kids the tools they need to succeed. Your generosity can change a child’s future, donate today and be part of something truly meaningful!
Alternatively, you can purchase the school supplies on our Amazon Wishlist for us to distribute:
SCHOOL SIGN UP
If you are a school principal and you wish to register your school to receive these backpacks of supplies for your students, please fill out the enquiry form below and we will be in touch.
Each school can sign up to receive up to 10 backpacks per grade for Kindergarten through 5th Grade.
Please note, only the school principal is eligible to apply.
