Summer has just begun but we are already gearing up for Back to School 2026--in a variety of ways! The Villa Park Area Early Childhood Collaborative (VPAECC) is hosting its annual Back to School Resource Fair at Jefferson Middle School, Villa Park, on August 1. We expect to fill 550 or more new backpacks with all the supplies needed for a successful school year!

VPAECC, with generous grants from Birth to Five, Bright & Early DuPage, and Endeavor Health, brings together many community partners to support families and the development of young children and their care circles. Together, we can ensure access to local resources and high-quality early learning experiences! The Back to School Resource Fair will be the source for backpacks stuffed with happiness, in the form of headphones, notebooks, pens, pencils, glue sticks, folders, scissors, paper, highlighters...and much more.

Your kindness can help us accomplish this goal! Please consider a donation of any amount...and fill a backpack with supplies AND community heart!

Filled Backpacks = Greatness Ahead! Please Support Our Back to School Resource Fair
