Backpack Giveback
2025 Backpack Giveback Is Almost HERE
The Driven Foundation will provide Central Ohio 400 elementary and middle school students with backpacks filled with supplies, wellness items, and also provide them with a BBQ meal. The 9th Annual Backpack Giveback will host 50+ volunteers from all around Ohio who will join us in making a difference. “What’s in the backpack?” Notebooks, pencils, erasers, composition notebooks, crayons, custom luggage tags, and more. 😊
Free School Supplies For 400 Students
Each year at the beginning of August the stress levels of many Central Ohio parents begin to rise because of the heavy burden of purchasing school supplies for multiple children. Our Backpack Giveback was designed to help eliminate that burden by offering 400 free backpacks and more than 5,000 school supplies to students.
Volunteer for Our Backpack Giveback
We’d love to have you join our Backpack Giveback staff. Help us set-up, distribute supplies, and make a difference in the community.
Academics Start with Wellness
Before kids can even begin to focus on academic and personal growth, they need access to basic hygiene resources. We help families prepare for the academic year by providing deodorant, body wash, bar soap, hand soap, hand sanitizer, toothbrushes & toothpaste, memory foam pillows, wash cloths, bottled water, and more.
Seeing is Believing
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a picture of a smiling child is worth a million.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR MISSION
2021 Backpack Giveback
The 5th Annual Driven Foundation Backpack Giveback was a tremendous success as we teamed up with over 100 dedicated volunteers to make a positive impact in the lives of Central Ohio students. This event aimed to provide essential resources for education by distributing backpacks filled with school supplies to more than 350 students in need. The generosity of our volunteers and the support from the community allowed us to equip these students with the tools they need to succeed academically.
