Bink International Charity Annual Back-to-School & Toys Giveaway
Date: August 22, 2026
Location: Oval Park, East Orange, New Jersey
Overview
Bink International Charity successfully hosted its Annual Back-to-School and Toys Giveaway, bringing together families, community leaders, and partners for a day dedicated to supporting children and preparing them for the upcoming school year. The event saw an overwhelming turnout, with a long line of families eagerly waiting to be served—clear evidence of both the need within the community and the trust placed in our organization.
Impact & Distribution
We are proud to report that a total of 504 backpacks —equivalent to 21 boxes of 24 backpacks each—were distributed to children in attendance. Each backpack was thoughtfully filled with essential school supplies to ensure students are well-equipped for academic success.
In addition to school supplies, hundreds of toys were distributed, bringing joy and excitement to every child. Thanks to our generous partners, each child received both a backpack and toys, making the experience both practical and memorable.
Parents were not left out. Each family received a goody bag containing bath, body care, and beauty products such as perfume, shampoo, sunscreen lotion, home fragrance items, and T-shirts. In addition, the goody bags also included electronics such as phone chargers and screen protectors, further supporting families with useful everyday essentials.
We are especially proud to have exceeded our goal of serving at least 500 children, a milestone that reflects the dedication of our team and the strength of our community partnerships.
