Sponsors needed for NHHA 18th annual backpack drive

Help set a Northborough student up for success this fall by sponsoring a backpack filled with essential school supplies.

The Northborough Helping Hands Association, Inc. (NHHA) is launching its 18th annual Backpack Drive to support K–12 students in need within the Northborough public school system for the 2025–2026 academic year.

Last year, thanks to the generous support of individuals, businesses, and community organizations, NHHA provided 75 fully stocked backpacks. But the need continues to grow—and so do supply costs.

Each sponsored backpack includes a brand-new bag and grade-appropriate school supplies.

• Elementary school backpack: $35 donation
• Middle/high school backpack: $50 donation

The sponsorship deadline is Friday, June 20.

All donors will be recognized in NHHA’s post-project press release, as well as on the organization’s website and Facebook page @Northboroughhelpinghands.

NHHA is a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting Northborough residents through community service and seasonal assistance programs.
