2025 Backpack Drive
February 1 - February 24
From Feb 1 – Feb 24, Ladera Community Church is partnering with the Menlo Atherton High School Service Club (The Care Bears) to collect backpacks for students experiencing poverty on the Mexicali border. In mid-March, students will travel to Calexico and partner with a local food bank to distribute necessary food items and the collected backpacks.
The greatest need is for backpacks for high school students (20-30L size), but NEW backpacks of all sizes are accepted.
Backpacks can be placed in the blue barrels outside the church office or if you would prefer, you can write a check to LCC with “Backpacks” in the subject line and the Care Bears will purchase backpacks with our donations.
Any questions, please reach out to Sandie Timm at sandieptimm@gmail.com
