CLEVELAND, Texas – August 21, 2025 – Last month, families from across Liberty County gathered at Santa Fe Middle School for a backpack giveaway that brought together neighbors, volunteers, and local law enforcement in a celebration of community. The event, held on July 24 at 5:00 p.m., was organized by the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office and proudly sponsored by Quadvest.
For many students, the start of the school year means new challenges and new opportunities—and thanks to this event, hundreds of children walked away prepared with the supplies they need to succeed.
A Community Coming Together
The heart of the event was simple: ensuring every child had a backpack in hand before the first day of school. Volunteers worked alongside deputies from the Sheriff’s Office to distribute supplies, greet families, and create a welcoming atmosphere. Parents expressed gratitude not just for the backpacks, but for the sense of unity and support that events like these bring.
“This is what makes Liberty County special—neighbors helping neighbors,” said one volunteer. “The kids left here smiling, and that’s what it’s all about.”
The evening underscored a larger truth: in areas like Santa Fe and the nearby Colony Ridge developments, strong community ties are what turn neighborhoods into lasting homes.
