As the new school year approaches, Albuquerque families will have a chance to get their kids ready to learn — at no cost. Lerner and Rowe is hosting a free backpack giveaway at EXPO New Mexico, where 1,000 backpacks filled with school supplies will be handed out to local students.

The event is designed to ease the back-to-school burden for families in the community, ensuring that more children walk into their classrooms equipped and ready to succeed. With 1,000 fully stocked backpacks on offer, the giveaway is one of the larger school-supply efforts the city has seen this season.

EXPO New Mexico, a well-known community gathering space on the fairgrounds, serves as the perfect backdrop for the giveaway, making it accessible to families from across the metro area.

Events like this reflect the kind of neighbor-helping-neighbor spirit that makes Albuquerque’s community strong. Families in need of school supplies are encouraged to take advantage of this generous offering before supplies run out.
