A fantastic 2025 Backpack Drive!
Acenda’s annual Backpack Drive was a success thanks to all of our amazing donors and supporters. From August 11th to the 14th, staff members were welcomed at Acenda’s Headquarters to pick out school supplies and backpacks for their clients. We were able to provide backpacks and supplies to more than 500 children throughout New Jersey, ensuring that they were properly prepared for the upcoming school year.
Highlights of the 2025 Backpack Drive
This year, our long-standing partners continued to show their support through innumerable donations of backpacks and school supplies. Their generosity and kindness allow us to continue making a positive impact on our community.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our donors, including Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, Haddonfield United Methodist Church, Riggs Creative Group, LLC, United Way of Gloucester County, Busy B’s Square Dance Club, and Environmental Resolutions, Inc. Each contribution helped us to fill every backpack for the many children we serve.
Thank you to everyone who supported Acenda’s annual Backpack Drive this year. Every donation will help a child in our community to thrive this school year. Your contributions are deeply appreciated, by our team, providers, and families.
Looking Ahead
With the 2025 Backpack Drive behind us, we are prepping for Acenda’s 30th Spirit of the Holidays toy drive!
