The 6th Annual Drive Thru Backpack Giveaway, hosted by the Marshal Reggie Thomas and the Lafayette City Marshal’s Office, will take place on Saturday, August 1, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. at Destiny of Faith Church. More than 800 clear and mesh backpacks filled with school supplies will be distributed to local students as they prepare for the upcoming school year.
