DESTINO Foundation Delivers 100 Backpacks of Hope

We Did It—Together!

This past weekend, the DESTINO Foundation partnered with Home Again LA to bring a little extra confidence, hope, and joy to students starting the school year. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to deliver 100 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to children from low-income families.

More Than Just Backpacks

While each backpack was filled with notebooks, pencils, and other classroom essentials, what truly mattered was the message behind them: your community believes in you. Every donation, every hour volunteered, and every helping hand was a sign of encouragement to these young dreamers as they step into the school year.

A Community Effort with DESTINO Foundation

This project was only possible because of the collective effort of so many.

• Donors who provided the resources to purchase supplies.

• Volunteers who packed each backpack with care.

• Supporters who helped spread the word and rally others to join in.

Each role was essential, and together, we turned an idea into a reality that will have a lasting impact.

The Power of Showing Up

For many students, starting school with the right supplies means starting school with confidence. It’s one less worry on their mind and one more reason to feel excited about learning. Seeing the smiles on their faces reminded us why our mission matters — and why we’ll continue to show up for the next generation.

Looking Ahead

This is just one chapter in the story we’re writing together. We believe in building opportunities, fostering confidence, and removing barriers for young people so they can reach their full potential.

If you’d like to be part of our next initiative, there are many ways to get involved:

• Volunteer your time at our upcoming events.

• Make a donation to support future projects.

• Share our mission with your friends, family, and networks.

Your involvement — big or small — makes a difference.

Thank you to everyone who made this back-to-school drive a success. Together, we’ve proven that when a community comes together, we can create real change.
