Project Backpack 2026 is a fun, hands-on event where we build and pack backpacks for local kids in need!
Project Backpack 2026 is a FREE Back-to-School Giveaway designed to help local children begin the school year feeling prepared, confident, and supported. Through the generosity of our community and partners, students will receive backpacks and essential school supplies, including notebooks, folders, pencils, pens, crayons, markers, scissors, glue sticks, and rulers.
This initiative is about more than supplies—it’s about investing in our children, removing barriers to learning, and reminding every child that their community believes in their success. When the community shows up, our children feel supported, loved, and prepared. ❤️🎒📚
