LOVE THIS CITY
LOVE THIS CITY BACKPACK DRIVE 2026
God is moving in our city, and He is inviting us to be His hands and feet this summer! While our kids are rightfully celebrating a season of rest, thousands of local parents are already carrying the heavy anxiety of September's school costs.
To meet this need, The Salvation Army has set a massive faith-goal to provide brand-new backpacks and supplies to 4,000 students from low-income families. We are stepping alongside them to make it happen!
An Urgent Door Has Opened
Our partnership matters more than ever this year. The Salvation Army’s primary warehouse operations have been severely disrupted due to an ongoing labor strike with a neighboring company sharing their facility. Because their logistics are halted, they cannot pick up donations.
We aren't going to let that stop this mission. Instead, our church is stepping up to fully handle the heavy lifting: we are going to pack every single backpack offsite and deliver them directly to their team.
How We Can Step Up Together:
- 🎒 Give & Double Your Impact: Fund a $20, $30, or $50 backpack kit right now. Every single kit you purchase will be fully matched by Love This City—buy one, give two!
- 📦 Serve at the Church Office: Join us on Saturday, July 25th at 322 Geary Ave as we come together to sort supplies and pack these backpacks.
Let’s rally to clear their hurdles, hit this 4,000 goal, and take care of September today so these families can breathe a sigh of relief.
