The Education Foundation of Palm Beach County is gearing up for its annual community backpack initiative, aiming to distribute an unprecedented 36,000 backpacks to children returning to school.

As the school year approaches, excitement builds around the drive, with various fundraising activities and donation events planned to help reach the goal. The foundation encourages community members to participate, whether through donations or volunteering, to help create a positive impact in the lives of local students. With the collective effort of the community, this year's backpack drive promises to be a significant success.
