Multiple US Cities Host Free Backpack Giveaways Supporting Thousands of Students

Multiple communities across the United States are organizing free backpack giveaways filled with school supplies to support students and families ahead of the new school year. In North Las Vegas, Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys will distribute 750 backpacks at Mojave High School on July 20, alongside family-friendly activities such as face painting and ice cream. Albuquerque's New Mexico Family Action Foundation is hosting a family fun festival on July 12, offering 300 backpacks and connecting families with local resources. IDEA Public Schools in Texas will hold three backpack giveaways in July, providing 500 backpacks filled with supplies at each event and opportunities to learn about local services and school enrollment. In Kingston, United Way KFL&A coordinates an annual Backpack Program that distributed over 1,000 backpacks last year and continues to seek community donations to meet rising needs. These events reflect broader efforts to alleviate the financial burden of school supplies on low-income families and ensure students start the school year prepared.
