Backpacks for Kids Begin!
United Way of Passaic County is sending 1,500 children back to school this fall with the tools they need to succeed.  We provide backpacks and school supplies for families who cannot afford them.  

Can we help 1,500 children?  Yes!  But only if you join us. Here are some sponsorship opportunities for businesses:

  • Sponsor one of our classrooms and provide the backpacks for a class of 20-22 children. 
  • Sponsor 1,000 pieces from our school supply list.  Choose from items such as rulers, calculators, glue sticks, and more. 
  • Give a financial donation toward the purchase of backpacks, school supplies and new shoes.
  • Allow employees to volunteer 3 hours with United Way to stuff backpacks with supplies.
  • Retail establishments: Sell our hang tags at your cash registers to raise money for the Backpacks for Kids program. 
Every business that joins us will be named on the sponsorship tag attached to each backpack.

2010 Sponsors to date include: AARP Clifton Richfield Chapter, BAE Systems, BP, Felician College, North Jersey Federal Credit Union, and Roche.
