The Richard Harris Law Firm has announced the date and location for its fifth annual Project Backpack initiative, which aims to distribute more than 12,000 backpacks filled with school supplies to students in need across Nevada.
Two giveaway events will be held before the upcoming school year, one in Reno and one in Las Vegas.
Since its launch, Project Backpack has donated more than 50,000 backpacks to students throughout the state.
The initiative began in Las Vegas but expanded statewide in 2023.
In Reno, every school classroom will receive backpacks filled with supplies. A full list of participating schools is available at the Project Backpack Nevada website.
“Helping everyone in the community has always been a focus of the Richard Harris Law Firm, and we continue to be happy to help everyone we can,”said Josh Harris, managing partner at the firm.
The firm will also host open pick-up events at their offices in Reno and Las Vegas for students not attending the selected schools.
These events allow children to receive backpacks with supplies before the school year begins, while supplies last.
The Reno event will take place on Saturday, July 26, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Richard Harris Law Firm parking lot at 6900 S. McCarran Blvd.
