Kids Above All Back to School Backpack Drive 2026

Kids Above All Backpack Drive 2026

This year we will focus on collecting supplies and filling backpacks for students in 2nd and 3rd grades and purchasing calculators for high school students. Our goal is to fill at least 24 backpacks.

Donation Options: Purchase supplies from the SignUp Genius list and drop them off at the Grant Place entrance by Sunday, August 2. If you order from the Amazon wish list, be sure to have items sent to your home or to church so they can be part of the First UMC donation to Kids Above All.

How to Give: By Zelle to finance@parkridgeumc.org, or by check or giving envelope. Please write "Backpack Drive" on the memo line for any giving method. Monetary gifts through Sunday, August 9 will purchase additional supplies needed to complete backpacks at our packing event.
