Fall Care Package Parties are a fun opportunity to build community while supporting our current students! Every year, Scripps parents and families come together to create care packages for students – with snacks, goodies, and inspiring notes – to help get them to the Fall semester finish line. The packages you create, filled with snacks, fun gifts, and words of encouragement, will be delivered to students during the week preceding finals. Hosted by Scripps families, Fall Care Package Parties are held throughout the country between late October and early November. See below for a list of confirmed gatherings and visit this page regularly for the latest additions.
If you are interested in hosting a Care Package Party in an area not listed below, reach out to the Office of Parent Engagement at families@scrippscollege.edu. If you’d like to contribute to the creation of care packages but are unable to attend an event in-person, the Office of Parent Engagement can help connect you with a host who would welcome additional support.
