Backpack & School Supply Drive
One backpack. Endless possibilities.
As we prepare to welcome Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) students back to the classroom, we want to ensure every child has the tools they need to thrive from day one – by connecting them with essential school supplies and backpacks that community organizations all across Alexandria are collecting or distributing.
Help us reach our goal of collecting 3,500 stuffed backpacks by Monday, August 10 to distribute across all ACPS schools and students that are in-need. Join the effort by collecting and donating supplies, shopping our online wishlist, or making a financial contribution!
