2007 "Rainbow Backpack" Drive
The 2007 Rainbow Backpacks school supply drive is in full swing right now. The goal is to have hundreds of children's backpacks filled with a year's worth of school supplies for needy kids assembled and complete by September 1st--just in time for school.
People from all over the U.S. contribute to the effort every year, directly in supplies and packs and in cash donations. We need your help. Please consider creating your own backpacks or gathering loose school supplies to send or bring to us for assembly. Click here for more details or call 949-293-4259.

We will be assembling hundreds of packs at our warehouse in Mission Viejo, CA on Wednesday, August 29th at 6PM. It's great fun for all ages with pizza and drinks provided. Click here for more details or call 949-293-4259.
