The Kingston Back‑to‑School Knapsack Drive is a community initiative hosted by the Kingston Seventh‑day Adventist Church, along with its community partners, The SHINE Club, Umoja Hub, Kingston Immigration Partnership (KIP), Mabuhay Fil-Can Inc., and Trellis HIV & Community Care 

This initiative is created to support local families by providing fully packed knapsacks and school supplies to children returning to school. Our goal is to give out 100 knapsacks so that children start the school year with confidence, dignity, and the tools they need to succeed. 

We bring families, volunteers, and local businesses together to create a supportive, fun, and resource‑rich experience for Kingston children.

We welcome sponsors, volunteers, and community members to join us in making a meaningful impact for Kingston families.
