Ensuring Success in the Classroom
Back 2 School Basics meets the needs of families in Summit and Wasatch counties by relieving some of the financial burdens of back-to-school shopping. Back 2 School Basics serves roughly 1400 students from Summit County, Wasatch County, and the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation in Ibapah, Utah.
Each participating child receives a $100 gift card to spend at Junction Commons, a new backpack, and school supplies of their choosing. This program is supported by volunteers who give of their time, donors who sponsor children, and by grant funding.
We'd love to hear from you! Email jake@ccofpc.org with any questions, comments, or stories of success from this year's B2SB.
Back 2 School Basics 2025
In 2025, parents spent an average of $740 per child on back-to-school shopping. You can imagine the strain this cost would put on families who were already struggling to make ends meet. Back 2 School Basics offsets some of this expense by providing gift cards, backpacks, and school supplies.
Each participating student receives a $100 gift card for use at participating Junction Commons stores and gets to choose a backpack and school supplies. With brand new supplies and clothing of their choice, students can enter the classroom with confidence!
"It’s been a really stressful year for my family, and I had no idea how I was going to afford to get my kids ready for the school year."
