Preparing Students for Success
The Campbell House is proud to host our annual Backpack Drive, a community-centered event dedicated to ensuring students start the school year equipped, confident, and ready to succeed.
For many families, the beginning of a new school year brings excitement, but it can also bring financial challenges. Through this initiative, we work alongside community partners, businesses, sponsors, and volunteers to provide backpacks, school supplies, resources, and support to students throughout Newark and the surrounding communities.
This event is about more than backpacks. It is about showing young people that their community believes in them and is invested in their future.
What to Expect
🎒 Backpack & School Supply Distribution
Students will receive backpacks filled with essential school supplies while supplies last.

Why It Matters
Every backpack represents more than supplies.
It represents confidence.
It represents opportunity.
It represents a community coming together to ensure that every student has the support they need to walk into the new school year prepared, encouraged, and ready to succeed.
At The Campbell House, we believe every young person deserves access to resources, guidance, and a community that stands beside them. The Backpack Drive is one of the many ways we turn that belief into action.
