Back to School Drive

Each year, FACETS hosts a Back to School Drive to ensure that hundreds of children in need across Fairfax County start the school year with the tools to succeed. With your support, we aim to fill and distribute over 500 backpacks filled with essential school supplies for students served by our programs and attending local Fairfax County schools.

We invite you to join us in supporting our students and helping them feel confident and prepared as they return to the classroom! Together, we can ease the financial burden of back-to-school shopping and provide essential supplies to help these children create stronger futures.

  • Deadline for Donations: August 1, 2025

We have flyers, supply lists, and our logo available to help promote your collection efforts—please reach out to development@facetscares.org if you’d like these materials or have any questions.
