Our mission is to promote and embrace diversity in our community and to support Lee County school children of all cultures start back-to-school each year with confidence & pride! Since 1999, we have provided over 40,000 Lee County school age children in need with FREE backpacks and necessary school supplies.
A group of dedicated volunteers on our Event Committee works hard each year to fundraise and organize the The Big Backpack Event, our annual back-to-school festival and school supply giveaway. It has become one of Lee County's BIGGEST Back-To-School outreach programs. Last year an estimated 5,000 people were in attendance, over 2,500 children received backpacks and school supplies.
