Join us in collecting backpacks filled with school supplies to support low-income children. With the high cost of living, it can be difficult for families to provide new backpacks and essential supplies for the school year. This simple act of generosity and care can make a meaningful difference in helping a child be prepared and confident as they begin a new school year with everything they need.

The Raleigh Baptist Association will be accepting filled backpacks throughout the summer. Backpacks may be dropped off starting the week of June 22 and ending August 13. Distribution will be made to year round students as well as traditional calendar students.
