Backpacks For Kids is a recently founded organization that provides underprivileged children in Yolo County, California with backpacks and other school supplies. Last year, the organization provided over 250 children with supplies they could otherwise not afford so that they could start the school year off right. In addition to backpacks and school supplies, Backpacks For Kids also provides clothes, desks and bike helmets.
This year, the project ambitiously hopes to help 1000 children, quadrupling their level of service. Many people do not realize the level of demand for these necessities. Backpacks For Kids is hosting a family fun day on July 26, but if you don’t live in California you can still help out—check out their website here.
