Our annual Operation Backpack drive is underway, and we’re collecting new school supplies to help students across our community head back to school ready to learn.

From backpacks and notebooks to pencils and markers, every donation makes a difference.

📅 Collection Dates: July 1 – August 14

You can also support the drive by making a monetary donation or purchasing items from our Amazon Wish List.
