At Laborde Earles, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to begin the school year with confidence. Through our annual Project Backpack initiative, we help provide backpacks and school supplies to students throughout Louisiana so they can start the school year prepared and ready to learn.
This year marks our 5th Annual Project Backpack Event. In addition to our partnerships with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Acadiana and local Acadiana schools, we are excited to host backpack distribution events in Alexandria, Lake Charles, and New Orleans.
Each school-age child in need will be eligible to receive one mesh backpack filled with a 33-piece school supply kit while supplies last.
Families interested in receiving backpacks and school supplies are encouraged to complete the form below by July 31, 2026. Backpack distribution will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and pickup dates, times, and locations will be announced soon.
