Back 2 School Basics

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.

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!
