By contributing to SOME’s annual campaign to support DC families, you are investing directly in the successes of families and children. Whether that is by ensuring nutritious meals, educational support, or safe homes, you are helping to break the cycle of poverty in our area and enabling families to thrive.

Give a Backpack Today!

As part of our Beyond the Backpack campaign, we continue to collect backpacks to ensure every student begins the school year fully prepared to success. Your generosity can make all the difference.

Backpacks may be dropped off at

Knoll Place at the Conway Center

Address: 4401 Blaine Street, NE Washington, DC 20019

on these two designated days only:

  • Tuesday, July 29 | 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

  • Thursday, August 7th | 3:00 PM – 6:30PM

We will not be collecting backpacks at our O St. location.

Please donate new backpacks filled with age-appropriate school supplies. To make the load lighter on our staff, please put together backpacks beforehand and do not donate supplies only!

These essential supplies will support over 330 children—from Pre-K through high school—living in SOME’s affordable housing programs.

For questions or more information, please contact us at marketing@some.org. Thank you for helping D.C. students thrive and achieve their potential this school year!
