What an incredible day! Our 2026 Back-to-School Giveaway was a resounding success, serving hundreds of children and families throughout our community. 🎒✨
Thanks to the power of our community, we were able to provide critical resources, fun activities, and essential supplies all under one roof:
350 Backpacks: Students received free backpacks and personalized them with fun patches and charms!
Fresh Looks & Fun: 46 children got free haircuts courtesy of Impact Ruler Foundation, and kids got creative design-it-yourself airbrushed T-shirts.
Essential Family Support: Over 30 families were set up with low-income cell phone services, and families received food boxes with a month’s worth of supplies.
Inclusive Meals: StormBurger generously provided lunch for our families, and dedicated catering was provided for our Muslim community so no child was left out.
A huge shoutout to the local Target team for sending hands-on volunteers and generous donations!
We extend our deepest gratitude to all of our participating community partners who made these resources possible: Community Outreach Volunteer, Foundation for a Drug-Free World, AADAP, Blueprint Behavior Services, Southern California Edison, Gardena Modern Dentistry, Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, US Cadet Corps, Covered California, Mercy Worldwide, Blue Shield of California, Target, StormBurger, and NH Community Solar Development.
Thank you to every volunteer, sponsor, and neighbor who came together to create an inclusive, joyful, and impactful day for our youth! ❤️
