Help Kids Start School With Confidence

2025 fill their backpacks school supply drive

Help us ensure every child we serve starts the school year with confidence and the supplies they need to succeed.

ANNUAL fill their backpacks SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE

Each year, our Fill Their Backpacks School Supply Drive eases the burden of back-to-school shopping for families escaping domestic violence. From hosting donation drives to providing fully stocked backpacks or making financial contributions, there are many ways to get involved.

DONATE FILLED BACKPACKS

Want to get hands-on? We love when companies and community groups host backpack-filling days! Your support directly helps children walk into their first day of school fully prepared—and feeling supported by their community. We can even tailor a volunteer experience just for your team. To learn more, contact Sara Brigger at sbrigger@familyplace.org or call 214.443.7714.

MONETARY DONATIONS

A financial gift allows us to purchase extra supplies, meet unique needs and make sure every student receives a backpack before the first bell rings.
