Each summer, SPARK coordinates school supply donations that are packed into backpacks that are then distributed to Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) for their students.
Last year, SPARK was able to supply over 1,300 backpacks and create boxes of extra supplies for schools to use as needed. This project supported 14 schools and the Global Welcome Centers. Thank you to all who supported this effort!
We aim to (again) supply at least 1,000 backpacks this year!
To reach this goal, we are asking our community and business partners to consider supporting "Project Backpack" through a monetary donation.
Just $10 can purchase and fill a backpack with:
- a pencil case
- crayons
- pens
- pencils
- erasers
- glue
- a sharpener
- a highlighter
- a notebook
- a folder
- a ruler
This campaign will officially run from July 14 through July 31, 2025!
However, we are able to accept monetary donations at any time. To donate, visit our online donation page and choose "School Supply Drive" as the Area of Focus.
