Support Students. Fill a Backpack. Make a Difference.

Join us in supporting local foster and low-income students through the Give360 Summer Backpack Drive. As the new school year approaches, many families face the challenge of affording essential school supplies. Together with Frontwave Credit Union, Frontwave Give360 is helping surround students with support from every angle—so they can start the school year feeling confident, prepared, and ready to succeed.

Throughout the summer, the Give360 Backpack Drive will collect school supplies and monetary donations to help fill backpacks for students in need. Each backpack is thoughtfully packed with classroom essentials like notebooks, pencils, crayons, folders, and more before being distributed directly to local students and families.

Every donation helps remove barriers to learning and gives a child the tools they need for a stronger start to the school year. Whether you donate supplies, give financially, or help spread the word, your support makes a lasting difference in our community.
