Backpack Drive
It's time to donate to Kids Above All's back-to-school drive
Published on 6/25/2026
Though Summer’s here, back-to-school season is right around the corner, and for many kids, it’s an exciting time.
But for the youth in our programs, it can also bring anxiety. Something as simple as not having a backpack or the supplies they need can make school overwhelming and stressful.
That’s where you come in.
Each year, Kids Above All partners with individuals, community and faith groups, and businesses to step up so the 1,500 school-aged kids in our programs have the tools they need to start the year confident and ready to achieve their academic goals.
Here’s how you can help:
- Donate new backpacks and school supplies
- Purchase items through our Amazon wish list
- Give gift cards so we can fill specific needs
A list of our youth’s most needed items is below, or view the full list here.
MOST NEEDED ITEMS:
- Spiral Notebooks
- Sketchbooks
- 2-Pocket Plastic Folders
- Headphones
- Texas Instruments TI-34 Calculator
The drive goes from now until August 20, 2026.
There will be a plastic bin in the Narthex at church to drop off your donations.
