Help bring hope and equity into the classroom.
Donate school supplies and backpacks at a participating business near you.
Public Backpack Drive Hubs are located across the Bay Area. At any location, pick up a Backpack Tag, shop for a backpack and supplies, then return the filled backpack with the tag attached to the same location.
Tags are color-coded by grade: blue for K–2, orange for 3–5, and purple for 6–12. You can also use our supply list and donate any items you’d like at a Hub. Every backpack gets a student ready to shine!
Can't make it to a hub to get a tag?
1. Print out this list of school supplies and guidelines by grade level, to ensure you buy the right kind and size OR
2. Print a backpack tag at home and go shopping
3. Drop the supplies or tagged backpacks at any of the locations listed below.
NOTE:
Please, no RED, BLUE, backpacks.
Please do not add additional items to the pack. Bonus items can create "backpack envy" and ruin the joy of the moment.
Partner locations are listed by city in alphabetical order.
