Salvation Army Supports Thousands in Back-to-School Drives Across US

The Salvation Army and local organizations across the U.S. are actively supporting families and children as the new school year approaches by providing essential school supplies, backpacks, shoes, and clothing. In Central Indiana, the Salvation Army’s annual back-to-school giveaway helped nearly 300 children select backpacks filled with supplies and receive new shoes, supported by a legacy donor. Similarly, the Salvation Army in Harrisburg is conducting a supply drive to support 400 children, emphasizing not only preparedness but also confidence for the first day of school. The Salvation Army West Midlands Division offers youth programs including a summer school focused on music, faith, and personal growth, highlighting their broader commitment to youth development beyond immediate educational needs. Additionally, local churches like Sunflower Missionary Baptist in Bossier City are hosting back-to-school giveaways to provide supplies and backpacks to children in their communities. These efforts collectively highlight ongoing community support initiatives aimed at alleviating the financial burden on families and promoting positive educational experiences for children.
