Support Bay Area Students: Lead a Back-to-School Drive Today!
Leading a Backpack Drive with Family Giving Tree is fun, rewarding, and easier than you might think! By signing up as a Drive Leader, you’ll help provide backpacks and school supplies to students in need across the Bay Area. Whether you’re organizing a virtual or physical donation drive (or both!), you’ll be making a real difference. And the best part? There are no start-up costs or fees to become a Drive Leader.
How It Works:
1. Sign Up: Register as a Drive Leader, and we’ll provide everything you need to get started, including marketing materials and support.
2. Collect Donations: Choose the Drive Type That Works Best for You (Or Do Both!):
a. Lead a Physical Drive: Collect backpacks and supplies in person from your community, workplace, or team.
b. Lead a Virtual Drive: Request a Virtual Giving Tree during registration. A custom, secure, online page where people can donate supply-filled backpacks or school supplies. Nothing is shipped to the donor. We handle the rest! 
3. Drop-Off Your Donations: Once you have collected all the supplies and backpacks, simply drop off your donations at one of our designated locations.
We'll guide you every step of the way, from setting up your drive to greeting you at drop-offs! You’ll also receive marketing materials, a helpful guide, and the option to attend a training webinar.
