Project Hope

Back-to-School Giveaway

Project Hope supports students, families and schools through the School Work Day & Back-to-School Giveaway.

August 23 & 24, 2025

Sending Students to School with Confidence.

Annually, 100 churches, organizations, and businesses partner in the Back-to-School Giveaway.

Through our combined efforts, we provide about 3,000 students with new shoes & socks, backpacks full of school supplies (and more) at five Kids’ Fair Giveaways in the Eugene, Springfield, and Junction City area annually.

Additionally, churches partner with a neighborhood schools to prepare the facilities for the upcoming school year through the School Work Day.  Volunteers provide hundreds of hours of manpower by power washing, weeding, trimming, painting, cleaning, window-washing and more!

2024 Event Recap

In 2024, more community partners joined forces than ever before to send students back to school with the resources they need and a fun celebration to launch them into the year. The joy was so real that a spontaneous dance party broke out with kids, parents, and volunteers in the courtyard of one location, as a student led the Cha Cha Slide!

Together, more than 100 organizations, including churches, businesses, and foundations, partnered to make available more than 3,500 new shoes, socks, backpacks, and school supplies to local students! Watch the KEZI report here.
