As parents and children prepare for the school year, 4Cs of Alameda County will be giving away backpacks for transitional kindergarteners/kindergarteners and for elementary school students, as well as books and other supplies to support learning and development. Families will also have the opportunity to choose new and gently-used clothes for school-age kids, teens, toddlers and preschoolers, and infants.

The backpack giveaway is a free event located in the garage area at 4Cs of Alameda County Hayward Office. Due to safety and limited supply, mask wearing and pre-registration are required! Children are welcome but not required to attend.

For questions or concerns, please contact Jeanette Calixto, Family Resources Supervisor via email at jeanettec@4c-alameda.org or phone at (510) 736-2804.
