Echoes of Hope Annual Backpack Drivv=e

Annually, Echoes of Hope hosts a backpack and essential toiletry drive for students within Southern California. The backpacks are distributed to low-income K-12 students and first-time college students. The duffel bags are distributed to students who are exiting the foster care system and low-income/homeless students. Students are gifted brand new, quality backpacks filled with school supplies and snacks and duffel bags filled with hygiene items, blankets, and more. Our desire is to distribute 500+ backpacks and duffel bags to students and families in 2021. With everything surrounding COVID, low-income and at-risk students have been hit especially hard which is why this year is so important to assist students with the necessary resources so they can continue to work toward obtaining their degrees.
