Event Details
We believe that every child should begin the school year with the essential items needed to boost confidence, pride, and self-esteem. We are targeting elementary, middle, and high school students in economically disadvantaged families who need assistance with obtaining school supplies. In the past, we have donated backpacks and school supplies to more than 2,500 families.
This year we want to supersede that number by providing backpacks and school supplies to 3,500 students. Families will have access to free haircuts and hairstyles, vendors, and medical screenings and immunizations provided by the Foremost Family Health Center (with insurance). There will also be free snow cones and snacks provided and fun activities for children.
Donate
We are currently accepting donations of the following items:
School supplies for all grades (K-12)
Backpacks
Socks
T-shirts & Underwear (for boys and girls of all sizes)
Support
We are accepting new socks, underwear, and t-shirts for all boys and girls of all sizes until August 16, 2018. You can also make a monetary donation towards the purchase of items.
Be a Vendor
We invite you to share in our commitment to making Dallas a City that appreciates and values education by supporting the Annual Back to School Festival. There is no fee associated with being a vendor, but vendors are required to provide school supplies to give away to an estimated 3,500 families. Items must reflect 2018-2019 DISD school supply lists.
