Yulista Annual
Backpack Campaign
2023
YOU DID IT! Through generous donations, Yulista and our communities raise and deliver backpacks filled with school supplies to students across the nation. With proper school supplies and resources, students gain the confidence and motivation to grow in their education. Many families struggle with the growing annual expenses of school supplies for their children. Our goal is to alleviate that burden and help equip students with the tools they need to be successful in their education.
We are thrilled to share we surpassed our 2023 goal of 1650 backpacks. Together, we raised 1941 backpack kits & 400 hygiene kits! Thank you for making this year the most successful campaign to date!
