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.
