2026 Past Events
July 2026
Back-to-School Gear Giveaway for Foster Care
Every child in foster care deserves to walk into a new school year feeling confident, prepared, and supported.
Because of the community’s incredible generosity, over 1,500 K-12 students in Clark County foster care started the 2026-2027 school year with the gear, resources, and the confidence they need to succeed.
For many youth in foster care, school can come with added challenges such as placement changes, instability, trauma, and limited access to basic necessities, making something as simple as a new backpack or school supplies incredibly meaningful.
Back-to-School support helps provide not only the tools needed for success in the classroom, but also a sense of normalcy, confidence, and dignity. For some children, these items may be among the few things they can truly call their own.
Led by Clark County Family Services alongside Commissioners Jim Gibson and Marilyn Kirkpatrick, our three-week initiative brought the community together to show these children they are seen, supported, and valued. Thanks to you, we generated nearly $475,000 in donations and in-kind contributions.
