Beyond a Backpack

Back 2 School 

Kohl’s School Shopping Spree

Help Kids Start the School Year Strong

On Saturday, August 2, 2025, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Redlands-Riverside, in partnership with Kohl’s, will host our annual Back-to-School Shopping Event. This meaningful initiative directly supports local children across the Greater Redlands-Riverside area—many of whom face significant economic challenges. With nearly 90% of the families we serve living at or below the poverty line, the need for essential school supplies and clothing remains critical.

Our goal this year is to provide 150 kids with $200 Kohl’s gift cards to shop for the back-to-school essentials that go beyond just a backpack—clothes, shoes, and confidence.

Every donation makes a difference. Your support helps local youth head into the new school year feeling prepared, proud, and ready to thrive.
