We offer volunteer opportunities to help us build customized grade level backpacks for children heading to Pre-K through College. Most of our backpacks are given out before the start of the school year. We are preparing in advance of a busy back to school season which could see as many as 9,000 backpacks released to the community of children we work with who are experiencing homelessness and poverty. Along with preparing backpacks, there are other supporting activities to keep the assembly line moving as part of the preparations, e.g. inventory, moving boxes, restocking supplies.
