Roaring Back to School Backpack Giveaway
August 3, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join PNW for the Roaring Back to School Backpack Giveaway!
We will provide backpacks and school supplies to students in grades K-12 from our surrounding communities while supplies last! Families are welcome to stop by the resource tables that will be available.
We will have music, games, and hotdogs available throughout the event. Leo the Lion will also be available for photos!
This event is open to the public. Homeschool students are also welcome to attend! Students must be present to receive the backpack.
There is no income requirement to be met in order for students to receive a backpack. However, we really want to target the communities with the greatest need (Hammond, Gary, East Chicago, Michigan City, LaPorte, Westville). We are also reaching out to other surrounding communities and will accept any student from the NWI region.
