"We DID it !!!! 60 families with 97 children got backpacks and special trimmings for their Thanksgiving dinner, plus a gift card to Grocery Outlet. I am so thankful for the core group of women who come EVERY week to get this done. A special thanks to Phyllis, Jean and Sue who also come whenever I need extra help. I could not do this alone. We are sooo very grateful to the teachers, volunteers and community members who donated the gift cards and money to purchase them." -Carol Wood
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! WITHOUT YOU WE ARE NOTHING !!! Also, don't forget to shop through Amazon Smile and designating Love On your Back. This can make a big difference during Christmas shopping.

Week 2 of packing 97 backpacks. We did it! We are so grateful for all those who have donated to our Thanksgiving gift card drive. We are almost there. We have 57 + families. Next week will be a special backpack. In addition to our regular items, we will include items for a Thanksgiving dinner, as well as a gift card to purchase meat for dinner. We feel so blessed to be able to help so many families this time of year. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Enjoy every precious moment with your loved ones.
97 backpacks to pack was hard, but we got it done! Thank you to Lunchbox from Oceanside who came again to add goodies to our backpacks. We appreciate your kindness! We are collecting gift cards to Grocery Outlet for one more week. In the month of November, we are collecting Mac and Cheese, Jello Cups, Canned Chili, and $20 gift cards to Grocery Outlet. Thank you to all who have given. Without you we are nothing!!!!
