Backpacks Full of Hope: Our Annual School Supply Drive
Every fall, children in our community walk into class carrying more than supplies — they carry the confidence that someone believes in them.
A new backpack can change how a child feels on the first day of school. Our Community Outreach Backpack & School Supply Drive equips students with the tools they need to learn — pencils, notebooks, folders, and hygiene essentials — all given freely and with love.
This year, volunteers filled and distributed backpacks to families across Norfolk. Parents told us the drive lifted a burden they had quietly carried. Children told us they felt ready.
You can help us reach even more students. Donate backpacks and supplies, sponsor a child, or volunteer your time to pack and distribute. Every gift becomes hope a child can carry.
