5th Annual Back to School Bash: Supply Drive
NOW Through July 24, 2026
Wellpoint Care Network is celebrating our 175th Anniversary with the BIGGEST and BEST Back to School Bash yet!
Throughout August, we’re partnering with FOUR organizations throughout the community to distribute more backpacks and school supplies than ever before. Reaching more families means thousands of Milwaukee students will begin the new school year equipped, encouraged, and ready to thrive.
Our goal is to collect and distribute 2,000 backpacks filled with school supplies to Milwaukee-area children, so we need your help!
We are collecting backpacks, notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons, markers, folders, and more! You can drop off new school supplies at either Wellpoint Care Network (8901 W. Capitol Dr) or Milwaukee Fire Department Station 22 (8814 W Lisbon Ave) during normal business hours from now until July 24, 2026.
More ways to help us reach our goal:
Shop Our Amazon Wish List
Want an easy way to give? Purchase needed school supplies directly from our Amazon Wish List and have them shipped straight to us. It’s a simple way to make an immediate impact for students in our community.
Make a Monetary Donation
Short on time? Let us do the shopping! Monetary donations help us purchase exactly what students need most. Every $50 donated provides 5 fully filled backpacks for children heading back to school.
