Built by the Community, for the Community
I PLEE S.O.D.A — Students on Daily Activities — was born from a simple belief: every child deserves to walk into school ready to learn, no matter what their family is going through.
Equipping Kids. Empowering Futures.
We are a 100% volunteer-driven nonprofit initiative dedicated to ensuring that no child in our community starts the school year without the supplies they need. Through our annual Back-to-School Backpack Drive, we collect donations, purchase supplies, and distribute fully packed backpacks to students at schools across our area.
We believe that when a child has the right tools, they show up differently — with confidence, with pride, and with the ability to focus on what matters most: learning. That's the change we're working toward, one backpack at a time.
"When a child walks in with a full backpack, they walk in with their head held high."
— I PLEE S.O.D.A Founder
