2024 Backpack Drive

We would like to provide the opportunity for families and students throughout our local communities to receive the best education possible. To us, that means providing students with all of the necessary tools and materials required for everyday learning. Backpacks, pencils, pens, notebooks; these are only a few of the necessities that we plan to provide to any and all who are experiencing economical or physical hardships. To launch the 2024 year on a good note, we are looking to raise $500,000, by May 1st, to meet our goal of distributing 15,000 fully packed backpacks to those in need throughout the entire state of Illinois. Our goal is to have each and every one of these hand-packed backpacks distributed to families and students before the start of the Fall 2024 school year.
