Backpacks for Brighter Futures
Fill a backpack, empower learning.
Our Backpacks for Bright Futures Campaign is underway! This vital program helps set students up for success by providing them with a backpack and essential school supplies to be able to arrive at school confident, prepared, and ready to learn.
For the upcoming 2025-2026 school year, the need is greater than ever. We have received over 3,000 requests for backpacks or supply kits and we need your help to meet this demand.
You can make a real difference.
Your donation to the Backpacks for Brighter Futures Program directly supports students and shows them their community believes in their potential.
Join us today - help fill a backpack and fuel and brighter future.
Volunteer to help with assembly of the backpacks.
