Community Backpack Drive

Back-to-school season is exciting — and expensive. While school supplies are often covered for local students, backpacks are still a real need, especially for families with multiple children.

St. Luke is collecting new and gently used backpacks to help local kids start the school year with confidence.

Backpack Donations Accepted Beginning July 6
Drop off at St. Luke United Methodist Church
Monday–Thursday, 9 AM–5 PM

Then, on Friday, July 25 from 10 AM–2 PM, families are invited to come to St. Luke and “shop” for a backpack. Kids are encouraged to come and pick out their own backpack while supplies last.

Free Backpacks While Supplies Last
Backpack Pick-Up: July 25 | 10 AM–2 PM
St. Luke United Methodist Church Gym

We also invite all students, teachers, and school staff to join us for Blessing of the Backpacks on Sunday, August 2, as we pray over our students and the new school year.

Have a backpack to share? Bring it by the church beginning July 6. Together, we can help make back-to-school a little lighter for local families.
