Mount Pleasant, Iowa – As the start of a new school year approaches, The Fellowship Cup is once again stepping up to help local students succeed with its annual Back to School Backpack Drive, running from July 24 through August 15, 2025.
The community is encouraged to donate new backpacks to help ensure that every child heads back to school with the supplies they need to thrive in the classroom. Donations can be dropped off at The Fellowship Cup, located at 203 N. Jefferson Street in Mount Pleasant.
Backpacks can be delivered during regular hours on Mondays and Thursdays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Those wishing to donate on other days are asked to call ahead to confirm staff availability.
This initiative has become a meaningful tradition in Henry County, easing the financial burden for families while empowering students with confidence and readiness for the school year ahead.
