The Back 2 School Store encompasses everything Tovah stands for: active volunteers who get things done, meeting the needs of the community, and executing a massive project flawlessly.

The 2026 Back 2 School Store is set to once again deliver smiles, hugs, and much-needed gear to send children to school ready to learn and succeed. Children leave the Back 2 School Store with a new outfit, a pair of sneakers, a warm winter coat, hats and gloves, scarves, underwear, socks, personal care items, books and a backpack filled with school supplies. Parents and caregivers have access to a wide range of community information and resources. All at no cost to them and their families.

Now in its 18th year, the Back 2 School Store is Tovah’s biggest volunteer event of the year with hundreds of people involved in shopping, logistics, and helping children at the Store, led by the all-volunteer Back 2 School Store Steering Committee.
