2025 Backpack Drive
This year’s Backpack Drive at Skyline Park & Recreation Center was a true community celebration! Over 200 families joined us, and each child had the chance to pick out their own personal school supplies along with a brand-new backpack. Families also connected with community resources while enjoying a day full of fun — from a food truck and dessert truck to a jumper, face painting, and a photo booth.
A huge thanks to the Skyline Park & Rec staff for their amazing partnership and support, with a special thanks to the Recreation Center Director for helping make this event possible! A special shoutout goes to our official sponsor, Mission Fed, who provided on-site support by offering Second Chance Bank Accounts — with many families opening accounts the very same day.
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event a success. Together, we’re building stronger futures for our community.
