Making a Difference: Our 2025 Summer Backpack Drive is Underway!

At Toy Drive 'N Events Inc., our mission has always been rooted in supporting the children and families who need us most. As we head into another school year, we’re proud to launch our 2025 Summer Backpack Drive — an initiative aimed at providing 100 elementary school students with fully stocked backpacks, school supplies, and healthy snacks. And with your help, we’re also hoping to provide 50 low-income families with $25 grocery gift cards to help ease the back-to-school burden.

For many families, the start of a new school year can be filled with stress rather than excitement. By sponsoring a backpack bundle or donating school supplies, you’re helping us send children back to school with confidence, pride, and the tools they need to succeed.

What’s Inside Each Backpack? We carefully bundle each backpack by grade level, including age-appropriate supplies like notebooks, pencils, crayons, binders, scissors, rulers, and snacks. Donations are sorted and packed by our volunteer team and delivered directly to students on Distribution Day: August 4, 2025.

Ways to Help:

Donate a Bundle:

  • $25 – VPK to 2nd Grade: 15” backpack, supplies & snacks
  • $30 – 3rd to 5th Grade: 17” backpack, supplies & snacks
  • $25 – Grocery Gift Card: Adopt a Family
  • Donate Individual Supplies: Prefer to shop for items yourself? Check out our 2025 School Supplies List  on our event's page.
