For Families

Register Your Children for Backpacks and School Supplies

Families may preregister their children to receive backpacks and school supplies at the giveaway.

Registration helps us prepare for the number and ages of the students attending. Supplies are limited, and preregistration does not guarantee that every requested item will be available.

Registration Information

  • Backpacks and supplies are intended for school-aged children (PreK-12).
  • A parent or legal guardian should complete the registration form.
  • Families may register up to five students through the online form.
  • Families registering six or more students should contact us directly at info@rockofagesnj.org.
