Welcome to Packs 4 Success

Packs 4 Success is a community-driven back-to-school initiative focused on equipping students with the essentials they need to start the school year feeling confident, prepared, and supported.

Thanks to our generous sponsors and volunteers, last year we exceeded our goal—serving over 325 students. This year, we’re aiming to support at least 500 students, and we need your help to make it happen.

Notice about Haircuts & Styles

​

To help us serve as many students as possible, haircuts and hairstyles will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis this year.

​

To ensure a faster experience, please arrive on time, have your child's hair freshly washed and detangled, and select a simple hairstyle. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times and will not be served without an adult present. Please do not drop off your child and leave.

​

Please note that stylists may have limited supplies available. If your child requires specific products, accessories, beads, barrettes, hair ties, or other materials to complete their desired simple style, we ask that you bring those items with you to the event.

Our goal is to serve every student efficiently while providing a positive experience for all families.​​
