Three ways in.
Give a backpack
Fill a new backpack with school supplies, or grab an extra set of supplies. Drop it off at church on a Sunday in August.
Volunteer
Help us pack backpacks on Setup Day, or hand them out on Distribution Day. Two afternoons, and a real way to love our neighbors.
Spread the word
Know a family who could use a backpack? Tell them. Share the drive with your community group and friends.
