Fill the Backpacks
Community School Supply Drive
The Fill the Backpacks Community School Drive is focused on helping local families prepare for the upcoming school year. Donations will go toward purchasing backpacks, school supplies, and essential items for students in need within our community.
This fundraiser will kick off on July 3, 2026, at the Staples Parking Lot with a Hot Dog Eating Contest, free hot dogs for kids, and free shaved ice for kids. Community donations will be collected from July 3 through August 20, 2026. If you are interested in receiving back-to-school supplies, please pick up an interest form at the July 3 event. Details on pickup location and timing for supplies will be shared directly with participating families prior to distribution on August 23, 2026.
Supplies will be distributed based on available funding and community donations. Our goal is to support as many local families as possible and help kids start the school year prepared and confident.
Thank you for supporting local families and making a difference in our community.
Fill the Backpacks Hot Dog Eating Contest
Join us for an exciting Hot Dog Eating Contest hosted by Jime’s Hotdogs as part of our Fill the Backpacks Community Event. This high-energy competition will take place at the Staples Parking Lot in Roseburg, bringing the community together for a great cause.
Contestants will have 10 minutes to eat as many regular-sized hot dogs as possible. With limited spots available, this is your chance to compete, have fun, and be part of something that gives back to local kids preparing for the school year.
All entry fees collected will go directly back into the school supply drive to support local families.
