Inspired by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding donation to New York Cares, fans can turn their fandom into community impact while helping New York City students head back to school!

New York Cares, New York City's largest volunteer network, is inviting Swifties to help pack 2,200 backpacks with school supplies for New York City students at "Giving Era," a Taylor Swift-inspired volunteer event on Thursday, July 30, at P.S. 20M – Anna Silver in Manhattan.

The event kicks off Stand with Students, New York Cares' seventh annual back-to-school campaign, which provides students with backpacks, school supplies, and year-round academic support. Through September, New York Cares will host backpack-packing events across the city with the goal of distributing 26,400 backpacks while raising $1M to support students throughout the school year.
