Backpack Collection | The Crossing

We're collecting school supplies during all weekend services on July 26-July 27 and August 2-3. Help local students prepare for school by dropping off any of the supplies listed below or invite a group of friends to fill a backpack with the whole list!

Crossing families needing assistance are invited to request backpacks by July 30.

You can also purchase items off our Amazon List by Monday, July 28 if you can't drop off during our collection weekends or need a shipping option.

Serving Opportunities

In addition to donating items, we also have a variety of opportunities available to serve. Check out the serving options below. It takes hundreds of people to collect supplies, stuff backpacks, and deliver to our partner organizations. Plus, we host a party for students to pick up their backpacks and have some fun with their families. Grab a friend and serve together!
