San Jose Local Backpack Drive

Hi! We’re Chloe and Ava, high school students who are organizing a backpack drive this summer to support kids at Community United, a local after-school program, and the schools nearby. Many of the families they serve need support to ensure they have backpacks and school supplies for the upcoming school year.

So, Ava and I decided to do a fundraiser in order to buy and fill backpacks with essentials like pencils, notebooks, and folders so every student can start the year feeling prepared and confident.

Any donation, big or small, will go directly toward giving these kids the tools they need to succeed. Each backpack with the supplies inside, is $75 dollars, so for every $75 that you are donating, that is a kid you are setting up for success.

Thank you so much for supporting our project—it truly means a lot to us and to the students we're helping.
