Moving Forward Together

Back-to-School Backpack Drive

Thank you for joining us for our 2026 Back-to-School Backpack Drive!

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

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 services from JFS.

Help us reach our goal to provide 600 kids with backpacks and school supplies for the upcoming school year.
