Programs
Making a Difference, One Program at a Time
Through our signature programs, we provide essential resources and support to children and families throughout the year.
Back-to-School Program
Pack the Back
Our signature back-to-school program provides underserved students with the supplies and backpacks they need to start the school year prepared and confident.
Every summer, we collect and distribute brand new backpacks filled with essential school supplies to students in our community who need them most.
Our program goes beyond just supplies we partner with schools to identify students in need and work with local businesses to provide high-quality materials that will last the entire school year.
Pack the Back features a unique business park experience, bringing together local business owners, kid entrepreneurs, and businesses that support children and families. Volunteers help sort, pack, and distribute backpacks at community events where families can also access additional resources and information about our other programs.

Holiday Program
Great Turkey Drop
Serving Our Seniors & Caregivers
During the holiday season, we provide Thanksgiving meals to seniors aged 55+ and kinship caregivers—grandparents or guardians caring for children—ensuring they can celebrate with a warm meal and full hearts.
Launched in 2025, the Great Turkey Drop is our annual Thanksgiving initiative that provides complete holiday meal packages to seniors and kinship caregivers in our community.
Each package includes a fresh turkey with all the fixings needed for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We partner with local grocery stores, food banks, and corporate sponsors to make this program possible.
The demonstrated community need and positive response to our inaugural event has proven our capacity to support seniors and caregivers. Due to its impact and demand, this program will continue to grow in the years ahead.
