19th Annual Backpacks for Kids Event

The Livingston Educational Service Agency (Livingston ESA) is gearing up for the 19th annual “Backpacks for Kids” project. The goal of this project is to provide Livingston County students whose families are experiencing financial difficulties with basic school supplies at no cost.

Livingston County residents, local businesses, and community groups continue to be very generous in their support of this project.  It is because of their generosity, that last year, over 1,000 Livingston County students received backpacks filled with basic school supplies.

Although it will look somewhat different than in years past, we’re planning this years’ “Backpacks for Kids/ Connect for Kids” as a drive-through event.  It will take place at the Livingston ESA Education Center on August 6th, 2020.  Additional details will be provided at a later date.

We welcome donations for the 2020 Livingston ESA “Backpacks for Kids” project. 

• You may drop off items or monetary donations July 6th – 30th at the Livingston Educational Service Agency
• 1425 W. Grand River, Howell
• Monday – Thursday between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:00 pm.
