Gear Up for School is a backpack drive that brings together people of all ages in the community to provide fully supplied backpacks for students at the start of each school year. Backpack recipients include children in NH's Foster Care Program, the Manchester School District, and local non-profits. The Queen City-Manchester and Hooksett Area Rotary Clubs organize the drive annually.
Youth help pack backpacks that other kids receive, inspiring volunteering and community service from a young age. We purchase supplies in bulk that over 100 volunteers use to assemble thousands of supplied backpacks during our two-day event. Then, representatives from each organization distribute them accordingly.
