Project Backpack
Join us in promoting academic achievement
By participating in Project Backpack you will help improve the chances for success for children in our community. With your donation of new backpacks and school supplies children and teens receiving services from Center For Family Services will have the opportunity to start the school year confident and ready to learn.
Consider starting a collection with your friends, family, business, or church! We wouldn't be able to support the youth we serve without the help of community members like you.
The 2020 collections will take place from mid-July to mid-August.
With your help we can support education for:
Preschool age children by providing
- New picture books for 3 & 4 year olds
- Monetary donations to fill tote bags with at least 4 picture books per child
Elementary school age children by providing
- New backpacks
- School supplies (crayons, pencils, glue sticks, etc.)
Teens living in our safe housing programs by providing
- Sturdy backpacks for high school teens
- School supplies (notebooks, pens, binders, etc.)
- Monetary donations for books for teens enrolled in college
To start a collection or to make a donation, email Project Backpack or call 856.651.7553 x40160.
Start a Collection
Starting a collection is easy and fun! Its one of the best ways to get involved with Project Backpack as a local company and a fantastic opportunity to make a big impact on the local children and teens starting the school year.
Each year, we work with businesses, organizations, schools, and places of worship to provide the most essential back to school items. If you're interested in starting a collection we will provide you with promotional materials to help spread the word.
Make a Monetary Donation
We gratefully accept monetary and gift card donations to help support Project Backpack. In either case, we will use your gift to purchase new backpacks and school supplies for the drive. Gift cards to Target, Walmart, Staples and VISA are most in need.
