IMPACT Texas is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit corporation effective February 5, 2015. EIN: 47-3180333.

The goal of IMPACT Texas Backpack to School Bash Pflugerville, TX is a positive community where we provide backpacks filled with school supplies to underserved students who reside in affordable housing communities (federal assistance) and attend Title 1 schools where 50% (or higher) of the students live below the federal government poverty level. Additionally, the students receive toiletries, snacks, and water.

The purpose of this program is to provide basic schools supplies to students to remove barriers to academic success.

IMPACT Texas Backpack to School Bash is a positive community and is extremely important for students and their families. Having basic school supplies has a positive IMPACT on a student’s self-esteem and creativity. IMPACT Texas is offering a "Hand Up" to the families by providing school supplies which allows many parents to purchase other necessities their child may need such as clothing, shoes, coats, food etc.

We have two programs that are concurrent with our Bash. IMPACT Read to Succeed, is a reading literacy program of IMPACT Texas promoting the power of reading where we give away reading materials to the students in attendance and IMPACT Nutrition is our hunger relief program addressing food insecurity one nutrition bag at a time, where we give away “Nutrition Bags” with nonperishable food items, fresh fruits and vegetables or similar items.

This Bash is an exciting and fun way for students to connect with friends and community members prior to the new school year. It's a community economic development program service full of free, fun festivities!
