Backpack Blast

United, we're back to school! Join us on the morning of Thursday, August 8 from 8:30 -10:00 a.m. where we will come together to kick off our campaign season and pack backpacks full of school supplies so 1,000 Northwest Ohio students can start off the school year with the tools they need to succeed. Check-in will begin at 8:30am, with the backpack building beginning at 9am.

Some of our recipients include:

Friends of Lucas County Children Services and Lucas County Children Services
