Project Backpack

This annual back-to-school program provides backpacks and supplies to more than 150 children each year.

  • Provides essential school supplies and helps with education-related expenses
  • Helps families afford a few pieces of new clothing for school
  • Assists with high school fees and graduation expenses
  • Reduces the burden of school expenses on already tight household budgets
  • Creates the potential for every child in our community to have a great year at school
