One backpack. One pack of pencils. One can of food. Small donations can make a big difference. From July 22 through August 22, our community is coming together for a School Supply & Food Drive to help local students and families prepare for the upcoming school year.

Donations of new school supplies, backpacks, and food items are welcome throughout the drive. Every contribution helps ensure students have the tools they need to learn and families have access to nutritious food.

📍 Multiple drop-off locations available throughout the community

Durango 9R Administration Building, Alpine Bank, Durango Chamber of Commerce, and EsoTerra Arboretum

Whether you bring one item or a whole box, your generosity helps fill backpacks, stock shelves, and support neighbors in need.

Let's fill backpacks, stock shelves, and help set Durango's youth up for a successful school year. ❤️
