Backpack Kids

Hello BPK Village ♥️ It’s been a while since I’ve updated the BPK Village. Truth be told it’s been primarily due to the uncertainties of what the future held for us.

As everyone knows the Pandemic has taken it toll on MANY entities. While I am so humbled to say that during 20/21 we were able to serve the greatest needs we ever have, it’s been by far the most trying times. It took SO MANY people coming together to make that happen.
Big picture: the Pandemic caught up to us. We have had to scale back and were not even sure until VERY recently if we would be able to serve this coming school year to the smaller population we were hoping to. As you can imagine, this has been an incredibly sorrowful, worry and transition.
Luckily for the Backpack Kids, we have some amazing community businesses that have come to our rescue. The kids rescue, really.

Sonja Noski, Steve Hurter, Mike Hurter and your teams… THANK YOU a million times over. ♥️ Grocery Outlet & The Hurter Team

My gratitude for anyone who shopped, attended the fundraisers held, helped support, PayPal’s, Amazon Smiled, Facebook fundraiser, donated to us … is something we are forever indebted for. You all are what are keeping the ability to serve our kids, achievable! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and our Backpack Kid Babes, bellies. ♥️

Salvation Army and Bethel School District are hosting this event. If you could use help or know someone who could, please pass this along. Thank you for supporting our community Bethel and Salvation Army! ♥️
