Help a Student Start the School Year with Confidence
For just $38, you can provide a backpack filled with school supplies for a local student in our community.
WHY IT MATTERS
Every backpack is more than supplies. It is a reminder to a student that they are seen, supported, and not alone.
Through the Backpack Drive, City First Church has had the opportunity to come alongside local families and schools in a practical way—helping students walk into the first day of school prepared and confident.
DID YOU KNOW?
5 million children
across the US do not have access or finances for school supplies.
One in five children
in the US live below the poverty line, and over 2.9 million students live in households where they are unsure when they might get their next meal.
1 in 3 families
can’t afford school supplies for their children
Because of your generosity, students have received:
Backpacks filled with school supplies
Encouragement for the new school year
Support for families carrying extra financial pressure
A reminder that their community cares
A Backpack Can Change the First Day of School
For many families, the start of the school year brings excitement—but also financial stress. Something as simple as a backpack filled with supplies can lift a burden from parents and help a child walk into school ready to learn.
When you give, you are not just providing pencils, folders, and notebooks. You are helping create a moment of dignity, joy, and confidence for a student in our city.
