Back-to-School Drive
Help local students start the school year ready to learn! Empower Yolo is collecting backpacks, school supplies, and gift cards to support children and families in our community.
Most-needed donations include backpacks (any size or color), any of the school supplies on the list, headphones, lunch boxes, reusable water bottles, and individually packaged snacks. Gift cards to Target, Walmart, TJ Maxx, and Grocery Outlet are also very helpful and appreciated for back-to-school outfits and back-to-school breakfast (if donating gift cards, please request a store receipt, as cards are often not properly loaded with funds).
Donation deadline: August 4, 2026
Donations may be dropped off at our Woodland office (175 Walnut St.) or Davis Resource Center (441 D St.) during regular office hours.
