4th Annual Book Bag Drive
Last Year
A few years ago, in just two weeks, with the help of so many gracious souls, we were able to donate 58 book bags to kids in need! The children ranged in age from 5 to 17 and were identified as meeting our criteria through school officials, teachers and local social services organizations.
Last year, with the help of caring donors and volunteers we gave away book bags and school supplies to residents of low income housing in and around Newport News, VA in their buildings and neighborhoods.

2025 Campaign
This year we’re raising money to give even more age appropriate school supplies to deserving children. We want them excited and fully equipped with the tools necessary for a successful new school year.
To meet this challenge, we’ve set up this campaign with a goal of $5,000. Each book bag filled with supplies cost $25. Last year we raised enough to fill and hand out over 100 book bags! This year we are starting earlier and raising the bar to help even more.
