BACKPACKS FOR KIDS
What is Backpacks for Kids?
This program provides children and youth from low-income households with the needed items for a successful school year.
Distributed through schools and community agencies, these kits provide kids and teens the opportunity to share the common experience of their peers – one of excitement for the new school year – while alleviating the financial burden for families. Together, we have distributed over 47,000 backpacks and kits since 2002.
