Back-to-School Backpacks

One of our big statewide projects each year is Back To School Backpacks for our kids. Social Workers need the backpacks between August 11- 22 (the second and third week of August) in order to deliver them to the children before school begins in September.

Your club, faith-based community, or other outreach volunteer group can take this on as a fun project.

Here is how to get your backpacks to us!

1.       Call the CCC office nearest you and let them know you would like to deliver some prepared Back-To-School Backpacks. Please don’t just drop-in as our branch offices are not always staffed during the day.

2.       Call the CCC office nearest you and let them know you would like them to pickup some prepared Back-To-School Backpacks, (minimum 20 backpacks)

If  your faith-based volunteering group wishes to participate in this project it is a big help to our CCC Coordinators to know the projected number of backpacks that you will donate. Then they can let the Social Workers in that region know what they can expect, and we can look at the distribution needs vs. the production.

Please also consider helping by adding the following donations for children. Fill the backpacks with these items and anything else you feel will help neglected or abused children feel like they're ready for school. 

Often these children have been moved to a new school due to intervention by a social worker and have an increased need to feel like they belong; so please no used items.
