Back-To-School
Giveaway Celebration

Bringing Joy, Dignity, and Supplies to the Kids Who Need It Most

Every two years, we host Long Island's largest Christian back-to-school outreach, providing children with premium backpacks, supplies, and Christ-centered encouragement.

OUR MISSION

We Don't Just Give Backpacks—We Give Hope.

God's Way Foundation is a Christian 501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to equip children for success—academically, emotionally, and spiritually. Founded in 2018, we believe every child deserves the dignity of a durable, high-quality backpack filled with school supplies that last the entire year.
 

Many families can't afford brand-new school gear. That's where we step in—delivering backpacks packed with excellence and joy. We intentionally choose name-brand, character-themed backpacks that reflect each child's interests.

"Because when a child receives a bag they love, they light up—and we call that 'bringing Disney to the kids.'"
