Backpack Bonanza: Equipping Students for Success!

The Bolenbaugh family spent a few minutes picking out the right backpacks—Sylvia (9), Zayna (8),
Sara (7), Alaina (6). 2023 Bonanza.

Every August, Generous Hands teams up with South County Community Services for our most exciting back-to-school initiative - the Annual Backpack Bonanza! 

Our Amazing Community Makes It Happen!

Thanks to our incredible volunteers and generous donors, we’re able to provide every Generous Hands student with a brand-new backpack filled with essential school supplies. Your dedication and support ensure that students of all ages start their school year confident and prepared.
