School Backpack Drive


  • The River at Eureka 215 North Central Avenue Eureka, MO, 63025 United States (map)

Our missions lie beyond the walls of this church building. There is a need in our community to help prepare children for the upcoming school year and now is the time for us to step outside our four walls and show some love. Did you know that children are often anxious, bullied or made fun of when they don’t have a backpack or school supplies?  You can help prevent that from happening by participating in the annual backpack drive organized by us (WOW; Women of Worship) to benefit children in our community who need assistance. 

Look for the "backpack tree" with tags in the common area.  There is one tag per child. It is important that you return the backpack WITH that tag as each child only has one tag.

We have some donated backpacks available for pick-up next to the backpack tree. See school supply list here. Additional lists will be near the tree as well.

Please return the FILLED backpacks to the commons area by Sunday, August 4th, 11am for distribution that afternoon.
