Need
Equip local students with the confidence and tools they need to succeed in the classroom! For many families facing financial hardship, the cost of brand-new school supplies can be a heavy burden. Providing a fully stocked backpack ensures that children in our community can start the upcoming school year feeling prepared, valued, and ready to learn alongside their peers.
More Details
This is a wonderful, highly practical project for individuals, families, or small groups to complete together at home. You will pick out a sturdy new backpack and fill it entirely with a variety of essential, everyday classroom supplies.

Estimated Cost: Approx. $30 – $45 per completed backpack (Based on local Southern California seasonal retail pricing at stores like Target or Walmart).

Important Guideline: Please include only the designated school supplies on the checklist. Do not include any food, snacks, or edible items inside the backpacks.

A complete, itemized school supply checklist and easy campus drop-off instructions will be sent directly to your inbox as soon as you sign up!
