Back to School Drive
One in six Fairfax County students starts the year without basic supplies. Each year, FACETS hosts a Back to School Drive to ensure these children start the school year with all the tools to succeed. For the 2026-2027 school year, our goal is to pack and distribute 2,000 backpacks filled with essential school supplies for students enrolled in Fairfax County Public Schools.
See below to learn how you can put a fully stocked backpack in a child’s hands before the first bell rings.
