The City of Huntsville’s Office of Multicultural Affairs and Community Awareness for Youth (CAFY) invite students and families to the 2026 Back to School Backpack and School Supply Giveaway on Saturday, July 25, from 9 a.m. to noon at Calhoun Community College–Huntsville, 102 Wynn Dr.
This year’s celebration will offer a full morning of resources, entertainment and support for Huntsville and Madison County students. Families arriving early will be welcomed by a live performance from the Huntsville Community Drumline as they engage with attendees outside the venue.
Throughout the event, guests can enjoy lively music, games and prize giveaways led by event DJs, along with a variety of interactive activities for children and families.
A drive‑thru grocery distribution will also be available to provide additional support to local households while supplies last.
The backpack and school supply distribution will begin mid‑morning, ensuring students leave equipped and ready for the new school year.
“This annual event reflects our commitment to uplifting and empowering Huntsville’s youth,” said Dr. Randy Barbour, Jr., Multicultural Affairs Director. “Our partnership with CAFY strengthens our shared mission of removing barriers, providing essential resources and showing our students they are supported by a community that believes in their potential.”
The giveaway is free and open to the public on a first‑come, first‑served basis. No registration is required.
