Backpack Drive
What are we doing?
Backpack drive is about purchasing backpacks for those who will not be able to have a backpack when school comes around. Every child should be prepared and ready by starting the year off right. Many people have trouble throughout the year but if it can be helped children shouldn’t have to go through that.
Why are we doing this?
Because school is necessary. Because children shouldn’t worry about needing necessary things for education. Because children are our future and success starts with preparation.
Who can do it?
Anyone wanting to make a difference in a child or children’s lives. YOU can make a difference. Your support is what’s needed.
How can it be done?

1. Check when a group will be doing this campaign and get involved.

4. Flyers, make many flyers and ask stores if they can be posted, washaterias, and community bulletin boards.
5. Find out what location you would like to raise awareness for.
Where can it be done?
This can be done where the assigned group meets. It can be a rented facility, available space, someone’s home, even out of a parking lot, if the right permission is given. Contact possible facilities, people for authorization of the distribution of these backpacks.

Before school starts. The awareness needs to be known at least 5-6 months in advance to raise the necessary funds. The handing out of the backpacks can be done a month prior to school starting.
