For many families in our community, the cost of back-to-school season can be overwhelming. Pencils, notebooks, folders, crayons, glue sticks – it all adds up. When these basic supplies are out of reach, students face challenges before they even set foot in the classroom.
That’s why we believe in the power of showing up – for our neighbors, for our schools, and especially for our kids. That’s why we’re proud to announce the return of our annual Backpack Drive, a community-led effort to make sure every child walks into school feeling equipped, supported, and confident.
This summer, we’re setting our sights high: 1,200 fully stocked backpacks.
The Backpack Drive isn’t just about materials. It’s about equity. It’s about belonging. It’s about making sure that every child, regardless of zip code or income, knows that someone in their community believes in them.
We’re inviting you to partner with us in this movement. Whether you’re a longtime supporter of NLCA or learning about us for the first time, your generosity can make a real difference.
