Our annual Back-to-School Backpack Campaign kicks off July 1 and runs through July 23!
(Claremont, California—June 14, 2023)
Help kids look forward to the back-to-school season with dignity and joy.
Visit the following businesses during the month of July and pick up a backpack to fill for a child in need:
- Aromatique Skin and Body Care in Claremont
- Some Crust Bakery in Claremont
- Claremont Forum Bookshop
- Claremont Concerts in the Park with the Claremont Kiwanis

Filled backpacks should include a brand new pair of sneakers and socks (each backpack will have a tag attached to it with the shoe information for the child in need).
Backpacks should be returned to the business where you picked it up no later than July 23.
