Support Students. Fill a Backpack. Make a Difference.
Summer just started, but the work to get students ready for the next school year is already underway.
Back-to-school costs hit hard for families already stretching every dollar. The Frontwave Give360 Backpack Drive helps provide backpacks and classroom essentials for foster and low-income students across our local communities.
From June 15 through July 31, Frontwave Credit Union and the Frontwave Foundation will collect school supplies at any branch and at Frontwave Arena, along with tax-deductible monetary donations that help us purchase the exact supplies students still need most.
Ways to Help
Every backpack distributed through the drive will be filled before it reaches a student. Sponsorships, supply donations, and community support all work together to make that happen. Sponsor a backpack. Drop off supplies. Make a donation. Every contribution helps local students show up ready on day one.

The fastest way to help is through a tax-deductible donation to the Frontwave Foundation. Monetary donations help purchase the exact supplies students still need most as the school year gets closer.

Why It Matters
All backpacks and supplies collected through the Summer Backpack Drive will be distributed through nonprofit partners serving Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties. These organizations work directly with students and families in need, helping ensure backpacks and supplies reach the kids who need them most.
For many families, back-to-school costs add up fast.
Every backpack filled helps give a student the supplies they need to start the school year with one less thing to worry about. Thank you to everyone helping support students and families across our communities through the Summer Backpack Drive.
