Building brighter futures — one backpack, one book, one snack at a time.

Back 2 School - Backpacks & Supplies for Kids

Help Kids Start the Year Confident and Prepared

At Tri-Lakes Cares, we believe no child should have to start the school year without the tools they need to succeed—and no family should have to choose between school supplies and everyday essentials like groceries. Our community can come together to support children in need by donating to our Back 2 School Supply Drive.

Our Back 2 School Supply Drive offers ways to give all year long. You can support students anytime by ordering from our Amazon Wishlist or donating directly. During the summer months you can also shop locally and drop off school supplies and backpacks directly at Tri-Lakes Cares.

Last year we helped over 105 students start the school year with the supplies they needed
