Lifeline's Annual Back To School Drive

For many students from low-income families, having the necessary supplies at the beginning of the school year helps to remove barriers to learning. We are committed to helping the youth in all of our community-based programs start the year off right. Please join us this year in meeting our goal of collecting over 300 brand new backpacks filled with supplies — together we can make sure our youth and young adults start off the school year right! Each backpack will go to a child/youth who is currently receiving assistance through a Lifeline program.

The campaign will run from July 7-July 28. Physical donations are due to Lifeline (HQ, Oceanside Coast Office, or Vista Main Campus) no later than Friday, August 1st; backpacks will be distributed to clients on Tuesday, August 5, one week before the start of school (school starts on August 11th, 2025)
