TEMPLE HILLS, M.D., - Prince George's County Public School's Crossland High School Dance Company, students, staff, and Wanda's Hope Klozet Community Development Corporation are hosting their annual "Pull-Up Pick Up Back to School Backpack Giveaway" on Saturday, August 17, 2024, at Crossland High School, 6901 Temple Hill Road, Temple Hills, Maryland.
The annual Wanda’s Hope Klozet Backpack Giveaway Event brings together the spirit of giving and the power of education,” says Wanda Knotts, CEO and President of Wanda’s Hope Klozet. “We believe that access to essential school items is not just about equipping students for academic success but also about empowering families and building a stronger, more resilient community. By providing these essential resources, we strive to create a foundation for every child to thrive and reach their full potential.”
Every year, the generous donations of hundreds of new school supplies ensure that families in need receive essential resources during the drive-through event held in the parking lot of Crossland High School. Local businesses and individuals are encouraged to support this initiative either through sponsorship or donations of school supplies to help maximize the impact of the Backpack Giveaway event. To learn more about how to donate, contact Lenia.Cash@gmail.com. The event is open to all families in the community, and no registration is required.
“Our mission, passion, and purpose for the Backpack Giveaway Event is to help the community. We know that more and more citizens in this area are struggling, and we want to alleviate those burdens, even if it is just a little bit. We have a strong community presence in the county, and we want to make sure we are moving forward in a positive direction for the students and their families. Throughout the school year, we give out backpacks and coats to those who are less fortunate and may need a helping hand. We also try to provide shoes for those in need. We try to instill in the students community responsibilities and volunteering as a way to help others feel good and also to gain a deeper understanding of self-confidence in themselves, knowing that someone was helped out of the kindness and love of their hearts. We try to feed the community as well during the holiday season,” says Wanda J. Knotts, CEO & President.
