Backpack Drive

Where: All Summit Locations
Drop off Backpacks by Sunday, July 31st

Summer is almost over and it's time to get ready for back-to-school! The Backpack Drive is a great opportunity for us to meet a real, timely, and important need in our community by equipping children and teenagers for a great start to the school year. Each backpack we collect will be distributed to students who need them at our local partner schools.

I'm in! What do I do?

1. We encourage any and all who want to participate to get creative with their friends, families, and Connect groups to share the joy of building backpacks together!

2. Pick out a backpack that you or your kids would be proud to sport on the first day of school.

3. Fill that backpack up with all of the supplies on one of these lists and drop it off at your Summit campus by Sunday, July 31st.

Not local or unable to get to a Summit Location? You can still participate! You can send a Target gift card to ecronlund@summitconnect.org and we'll put a backpack together for you! Backpacks typically cost between $60-$80.

Please note, we are unable to use checks for backpacks, so if you would like to contribute, please do so via gift cards. Thank you!
