The Connie S. Amaya Education Aid Foundation is thrilled to announce the return of our free backpack drive for students in Central Texas. Each student can choose one backpack at no cost, thanks to the generous contributions from Connie S. Amaya, the Education Aid Foundation, family and friends.

Connie S. Amaya dedicated 46 years to serving Lockhart ISD before retiring. Since 2019, Connie has used her own retirement funds to purchase hundreds of backpacks, giving back to the Lockhart community.

In Spring 2024, Connie and her family formally established the Connie S. Amaya Education Aid Foundation to access more resources and create a greater, more sustainable impact in Central Texas.

Why a Free Backpack Drive?

As an organization, we believe that education is the cornerstone of building a stronger and better community for everyone.

Why a Backpack?

For many families, a backpack is the most expensive item on the back-to-school list and is essential for starting the school year on the right foot.

It's also our way of telling students in the community, "We've got your back...pack!"
