Every Child Deserves to Start School Ready
Join I PLEE S.O.D.A's Back-to-School Backpack Drive — because no child should walk into a classroom without the tools they need to succeed.

Our Impact in Numbers
One Backpack. A World of Difference.
Every August, thousands of children in our community walk into school without the basic supplies they need — no pencils, no notebooks, no backpack to call their own. For many families, the cost of back-to-school supplies is simply out of reach.
I PLEE S.O.D.A — Students on Daily Activities — was founded to change that. Our annual Back-to-School Backpack Drive brings together donors, volunteers, and community partners to ensure every child starts the school year with confidence, dignity, and everything they need to learn.
This is more than a backpack. It's a message to every child: we see you, we believe in you, and we've got your back.
Choose How You Give
Every dollar goes directly to filling backpacks and putting supplies in the hands of children who need them most.
Fill One Backpack
Your gift fills one complete backpack with all the essential school supplies a child needs for the entire year.
Double the Impact
Sponsor two backpacks plus extra supplies — notebooks, crayons, and folders — for two deserving students.
Sponsor a Classroom Kit
Your generous gift provides a full classroom supply kit, helping an entire group of students start strong.
Join Our Team of Heroes
Our volunteers are the heartbeat of this drive. Whether you're packing backpacks, distributing supplies on event day, or helping coordinate logistics — every hour you give changes a child's life. No experience needed. Just a big heart.
