Children’s Shopping Spree has been one of our core annual projects for many years and is a favorite of members. We work with a nonprofit partner to take a group of local children back-to-school shopping!

2025 Back-to-School Shopping Event

Annually in August

Project Details

  • We partner with a local nonprofit who provides the list of 45 kids (on average) our Network will take back-to-school shopping.
  • Valley River Center and several businesses within VRC generously work with us to offer a fun day of shopping, lunch, and a backpack of goodies the kids get to take home.
  • This is a closed volunteer project to ensure the safety of the children, you must be a member or partner to participate.

Frequently asked questions

How can I sign my kids up for this?

    • We work directly with a nonprofit who coordinates on their end the list of children participating. We have no control over that list.

    • We recommend reaching out to one of our local nonprofit partners if you are looking for assistance with purchasing back-to-school clothes, supplies, and more for your kids.
