Alpha Omega Lambda Sorority Back-to-School Backpack Drive

August 8 @ 10:00 am 2:00 pm

The organization is currently collecting donations for its Back-to-School Backpack & School Supply Giveaway, which will take place on Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The group is accepting donations of:

New backpacks

Notebooks

Pencils and pens

Crayons and markers

Folders

Glue sticks

Other basic school supplies

Organizers hope the community will come together to help students start the school year with confidence and the tools they need to learn.

How to Donate

Community members who would like to donate school supplies can coordinate pickup directly with the organizers or drop off donations at:

Safe Streets Wichita
1200 E. Waterman St.
Wichita, KS 67211

Donations are accepted on behalf of Alpha Omega Lambda Sorority every Thursday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Those wishing to make a monetary contribution can donate through Cash App:

$KansasLeapAOL

Organizers ask donors to include “School Supplies” in the notes section when making a contribution.

Investing in Wichita’s Future

Members say the backpack drive is about more than school supplies—it’s about investing in children and helping families who may be facing financial challenges.

Every backpack donated, every notebook purchased, and every dollar contributed helps put essential learning tools into the hands of local students.

With donations being collected through the end of July, Alpha Omega Lambda Sorority is encouraging Wichita residents, businesses, churches, and community organizations to join the effort and help make the upcoming school year a successful one for local children.

For more information or to coordinate a donation, interested community members can reach out directly to the organizers.
