Miracles for Kids successfully hosted its annual “Back to School Basket of Miracles” event, on July 27, 2024, bringing together over a hundred volunteers to assemble and deliver backpacks filled with essential school supplies, household goods, and seasonal items to families with critically ill children. This year, 901 backpacks were stuffed with over 24,000 school supplies, then boxed with household essentials from supporting local companies and distributed to 394 families across Southern California, Northern California, and the Phoenix area.

Volunteers from the Orange County community, including representatives from local businesses and organizations, gathered to help ease the financial burden on families as they prepare for the upcoming school year. The event’s highlights included children, community organizations, and volunteers working together to assemble and pack hundreds of backpacks in a well-orchestrated assembly line, creating a joyful atmosphere of smiles and laughter. The Step ‘n Repeat logo wall of sponsors provided the perfect photo opportunities, capturing the essence of the community coming together for this annual noble cause. The day was filled with heartfelt moments, especially during the afternoon when volunteers hand-delivered the hand decorated boxes to families served by Miracles for Kids.

“When the community comes together to support these families on a Saturday and donate their time, we are truly inspired,” said Autumn Strier, Co-Founder & CEO of Miracles for Kids, who is celebrating the organization’s 20th anniversary this year! “Our Back to School Basket of Miracles program not only provides essential school supplies but also shows these families that they are not alone in their journey.”

The success of this event was made possible by the generous support of community businesses and organizations, including:
