Beyond the Backpacks

Beyond the Backpacks is a free community event designed specifically for single mothers and their school-aged children. Families will receive essential back-to-school items that go well beyond the typical pencils and notebooks—think clothing, hygiene products, and other necessities that help kids start the school year feeling prepared and supported. The event combines practical help with community connection, featuring family-friendly activities alongside the resource distribution. Keep in mind that supplies are limited and will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving early is a good idea. You'll need to register in advance to attend; once you've signed up, you'll receive the specific location details. A flyer with more information is available through the registration process.
