Our annual Back to School Giveaway provides new backpacks, grade-appropriate school supplies, and free haircuts to local children (Kindergarten through 12th grade) needing assistance in the NW Valley each July.

Need school supplies?

Come to our Glendale campus with your child on the event date. We recommend arriving early as the line is usually long. When supplies run out, the event is over (usually approx 2-3 hours).

Pre-registration is now closed, and does not guarantee a backpack (it’s first come, first served).

To receive supplies both you and your children must be present and in line.
