San Bernardino County Children and Family Services hosted its second annual Backpack Giveaway event in San Bernardino on July 27th, 2024, and Victorville on August 3rd, 2024. The events offered free backpacks and essential school supplies for grades K-12, with supplies for the first 300 kids at each location. In addition to the backpack distribution, families enjoyed fun activities including face painting, arts and crafts, board games, and food. Local vendors were also present to provide helpful resources and services to the community. San Bernardino County Children and Family Services provided supplies to local youth to connect families with additional resources and prevention services. The Backpack Giveaway supports the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) by helping meet children’s educational and emotional needs, reducing stress on families, and promoting healthier, more stable family environments.
