Teen Back to School Drive
Thank you for to everyone that supported the 2026 Teen Back to School Drive. We are thankful for the donors, organizations, and volunteers that made it a success.
What is the Teen Back to School Drive
The Teen Back to School Drive provides new clothes, backpacks, school supplies, and personal care items for teen ages 13-18 in middle school or high school. This event prepares teens to head back to school in style feeling confident and ready to start the new year.
How you can support
Remember when you were a teen and one of the best parts about going back to school was getting a new backpack or a new outfit to start the school year off right? Great start to the year, right? With the cost of new clothes and backpacks, some families just cannot afford it. This is why Emily's Care Closet hosts this teen back to school drive. It's hard going to middle and high school and teens just want to fit in with their peers.
Will you please help us send teens back to school feeling good about starting the new school year?
