PROGRAMS

The Greater Augusta Back to School Program (GABSP) is a grassroots, volunteer-driven nonprofit initiative committed to preparing Capital Area students for academic success. We collect, organize, and distribute backpacks filled with essential school supplies to families in need, helping to ensure that every child begins the school year with confidence and dignity. Learn how our program works and why your support matters.

Backpack & Supplies Program

Each year, we assemble and distribute thousands of backpacks filled with grade-appropriate school supplies for students in Pre-K through high school.

Our program thrives because of dedicated volunteers who help every step of the way—from sorting supplies and packing backpacks to coordinating logistics and assisting during distribution events.
