Back-to-School Backpack Drive

Let’s start students off on the right track with everything they need in a backpack!

For families facing financial challenges, a fully-stocked backpack can be a gamechanger as their kids head back to school.

Each backpack will go to a child whose family is currently receiving assistance through JFS.

When we reached out to our community for this year’s Back-to-School Drive, we never imagined the incredible response we would receive. Over 860 backpacks, filled with brand-new school supplies!

Thanks to your overwhelming generosity, we exceeded our goal and provided essential supplies to students who need them most.

Together, as a caring and united community, we are empowering vulnerable students to succeed and thrive.

“Thank you so much for giving my kids new backpacks this year. They were so happy to have something new and were even more excited when they realized the backpacks were filled with school supplies. This is such a blessing for our family. We can’t thank you enough.”

– Beatriz, Safe Parking participant
