Back to School Giveaway

Organise a large-scale giveaway of backpacks and school supplies right before the school year begins.

Partner with local businesses and schools to collect donations or purchase supplies. Set up a distribution event at your church or a community centre. Offer additional activities like face painting or a small carnival to make the event more enjoyable for kids and families. Advertise widely through social media, local schools, and community boards.

This event supports families who might struggle with the cost of school supplies, and also helps foster a sense of community and support.

Requirements

Volunteers: For packing, distributing, and running activities.

Donations/Sponsorships: From local businesses, schools, or community organisations.

Venue: Church hall or community centre with enough space.
