Back-to-School Backpack Drive – August 2025
In August, we had the joy of distributing 1,200 backpacks to students across New Jersey! Each backpack was filled with school essentials—and we added some extra fun with fingerprinting and other activities. The sparkle in the children’s eyes was truly priceless.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated board members and volunteers who worked tirelessly to bring smiles to these students.
A special thank you to our generous sponsor, Braen Stone, and our amazing partner Embrace Relief, as well as the incredible community organizations who helped make this possible:
📍 Cape May County – The SOAR Church
📍 Burlington County – Delaware Valley Church
📍 Elia Iglesia Ciudad de Refugio, Port Amboy, NJ
📍 Newark High School
📍 Essex County One Stop Center, East Orange
📍 Yolanda’s Love, Newark, NJ
📍 Public School #20, Jersey City
Together, we made a difference—and together, we’ll keep building brighter futures for our children.
