Back to School Drive.
Backpacks, supplies, and a strong start. Every July we make sure children in the neighborhoods that raised us walk into their first day of school carrying what they need.
Warens Financial Group is a family business built by working families, for working families. A new backpack sounds small, but for a child it is confidence, and for a parent it is one less bill in the hardest month of the year. Houston raised us. This is part of paying that back.
A strong start should not depend on what a family can spend in August.
Announcing the drive, with Principal Carrasco.
L.F. Smith Elementary, Pasadena ISD.
On July 30, 2026 we took over the cafeteria at L.F. Smith Elementary in Pasadena ISD together with the school's teachers and staff. More than one hundred students signed up, and every child left with a backpack, grade-level supplies, face paint, and a high five from one very busy tiger.
Thank you to Principal Lorena Carrasco and the L.F. Smith team for opening their doors, and to our partner sponsors who stocked the tables beside us.
One very good morning.
Want in on the next drive?
We do this every year, and it grows every year. If your company wants a table beside ours, or you simply want to give or volunteer, reach out and we will save you a spot.
