About us

About The Backpack Program

The Backpack Program was created to prove that something unused in your home can become something life-changing for someone else. We collect gently used furniture and household goods and use them to help feed hungry children and support people experiencing homelessness in our community.

Our Mission

To turn unused items into hope by connecting generous donors with children and families facing hunger and homelessness

Our Story

The Backpack Program began with a simple belief: what sits unused in one home can become hope in another. That belief has grown into a community effort that brings neighbors together to care for neighbors.

What We Believe

Every Item Has Value

Something you no longer need can be exactly what another family is hoping for.

Every Child Deserves a Full Plate

No child should go hungry. Your donation helps change that.

Everyone Deserves Dignity

We serve people experiencing homelessness with respect and compassion.

Guided by Faith

Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. (Psalm 82:3-4)

This verse shapes everything we do, from how we collect donations to how we serve our community.
