🍎Wanting to help, but don’t have the time to volunteer? We’ve put together a wish list for backpack bags. Next time you’re at Costco, you can pick up any of these items and deliver them to our headquarters. Message us and if no one is there and we will make sure we get it inside. Address: 311 E Street in alley.

🍎We are so appreciative of you! Let’s give in this holiday season! Let’s feed kids!

We’ve had a lot going on these last few months at the Backpack 🎒 Assistance Program!!!

We have hired a new backpack program manager! We are excited to have him on our team.

POV- have a friend you want to reconnect with? Do what we do! We volunteer together to get together and connect. We usually meet up for coffee before after school drop off. Then we go deliver or pack backpack bags and then enjoy a walk together or some other outdoor activity. It’s a great way to get out, serve this awesome community & connect with a friend.
