Singles In Service: Back to School Backpack Drive
Some of the best connections happen when you're doing something that matters.
This July, Throwback Dating is partnering with Kids Above All for their annual Back to School Backpack Drive — an initiative that provides backpacks and school supplies each year to children, youth and young adults in their programs who have experienced trauma. Together, we can help make a child's first day back to school feel a little brighter.
Join us for an intimate evening of small bites, beverages and good company while we pack backpacks for kids who need them most. This is connection with purpose... and honestly one of our favorite kinds of evenings.
Can't make it but want to contribute? Check out the list of needed supplies here. Gift cards welcome too!
