540 free backpacks given away at Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls


NIAGARA FALLS, NY (WKBW) – Hundreds of families got help with their back to school shopping today at an annual back to school event at Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls.

It’s a really great way to get different members of our community to come together and support our area students and families,” said Susie Swiatkowski, Marketing Manager for Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls.

540 children went home with backpacks and school supplies, in partnership with the Salvation Army, Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club and Greater Niagara United Way.

There was a DJ playing music to guide families back to school shopping after picking up their bags. They can also leave their mark on the public art mural.

This year’s back-to-school theme in stores is kindness.

“We’ve had some really tough years, everyone’s been through a pandemic and we want kids to look forward to going back to school and look forward to making friends and look forward to making lasting memories, that’s just one small thing I think we can do”, said Swiatkowski.
