🎯 Goal: Equip local children with the tools they need to read, learn, and thrive.

❤️ Our Mission

At Trendy Educational Services LLC, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to become a confident reader.

The More Than a Backpack Drive is about more than handing out school supplies.

We're helping families build home libraries, encouraging literacy at home, and reducing the financial burden on parents.

Together, we're creating brighter futures…one child, one book, and one backpack at a time.

💚 Thank You

Community Partners & Collaborators

“This is a community effort.”

The fight against illiteracy cannot be done alone.

TES is proud to be building relationships with community partners who believe in literacy, youth development, and family empowerment. These collaborations help us expand our reach, strengthen our impact, and create more opportunities for the children and families we serve.

Together, we are working to create safe, supportive, and engaging learning spaces where children can grow academically and personally.

Each partnership represents a shared belief that literacy is not optional—it is foundational.

As this movement grows, we continue to welcome collaborators who want to stand with us in helping children build confidence, strengthen reading skills, and unlock lifelong opportunity.

Because when the community comes together, children rise.
