How It Works

Thanks to the generosity of Kohl’s stores in Redlands and Riverside (Tyler), the doors open early—at 7 a.m.—for an exclusive shopping experience just for our Club members. With the help of dedicated volunteers, kids shop for back-to-school outfits that make them feel confident and prepared.

Last year, we were proud to serve 125 kids across both locations—and this year, we aim to help even more!

We Need Your Help

To make this event possible, we're currently fundraising and recruiting volunteers. Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Donate to help sponsor a child's shopping trip.

  • Volunteer and be a shopping buddy to a young student.

  • Spread the word to help us reach more supporters and families in need.

Past Support

We’re grateful for the continued support from community partners like the Kiwanis Clubs of Redlands and San Bernardino, Redlands Elks, Amazon, American Legion, CHP, and the Association of Professional Firefighters. Their time and generosity have made a huge difference in the lives of our kids.

Help us make this year’s Back 2 School event even more impactful. Every child deserves to feel confident and ready for the year ahead—let’s make that happen together.
