Help Branford students succeed
Fall 2025 will be here before we know it! Our Back To School program provides free backpacks filled with school supplies to help ensure success for every student.
IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR 2025:
All families registering for backpacks must provide proof of income and residency. Because we have an ample supply of backpacks, people who want to donate do NOT need to supply the actual backpacks this year, just the school supplies that go in them (per the supply lists).


What you need to know!
Our backpack program is for Branford residents only, must register to receive a backpack by August 1.
Please register to fill a backpack by August 5 and you'll be assigned a student or students immediately!
Backpacks will be distributed at the Community Dining Room on or before August 19, 2025.
Backpack supplies (labeled by student number) are due back at the Community Dining Room no later than August 15, 2025 for distribution on August 19, 2025.
