Gamble Home Furniture Donates More Than 300 Backpacks to Local Schools in Successful Drive

JONESBORO, Ark. — Gamble Home Furniture has completed its annual BackPack Drive, donating more than 300 backpacks filled with school supplies to four school districts across Northeast Arkansas. The donations were made to Nettleton Elementary School in Jonesboro, the Searcy School District, Batesville School District, and Blytheville School District through Ashley store locations in those areas.

The BackPack Drive is a yearly tradition at Gamble Home Furniture, aimed at helping students prepare for the new school year. Community members are encouraged to participate by donating new backpacks, shoes, and school supplies in exchange for exclusive discounts at Gamble Home stores. This year’s drive ensures that local students return to school equipped with essential supplies.

Chris Gamble, owner of Gamble Home Furniture, thanked the community for its participation and emphasized the impact of the program. “Our giveback programs are a huge part of who we are. We love our communities and try to leave them better than we found them. We strive to make this program bigger every year because we are aware of the needs in our local schools.”

Teachers from recipient schools expressed their gratitude for the donations. A representative from Nettleton Elementary noted that many students who relocate unexpectedly often arrive at school without supplies. “Some teachers have used their own money to provide these items in the past, so they greatly appreciate having these donations on hand. These backpacks and supplies give students the tools they need to succeed in the classroom.”

Gamble Home Furniture plans to continue the BackPack Drive in the coming years as part of its ongoing mission to support local communities.
