Backpack Builds

Each year, we are honored to help organizations, community groups, and teams, large and small, come together to support under-resourced students through backpack sponsorships.

Plan Your Build

It starts with a single backpack.

We offer pre-assembled backpacks filled with essential school supplies that are delivered to qualifying schools, or delivery of bulk supplies to groups wanting to sponsor backpacks. We encourage groups to add a personal touch by adding a handwritten uplifting note to each student recipient.

Each sponsored backpack costs $25 (plus shipping) and includes:

  • A package of markers

  • A pair of scissors

  • 2 glue sticks

  • A package of Post-its

  • 2 pens

  • A package of crayons

  • A pencil pouch

  • An eraser

  • A pencil sharpener

  • All in a new backpack!

Ready to Build?

Backpack builds offer a tangible way to connect your team and make a difference, together. 

You’ll need:

  • Supplies: We’ll send them!
  • Time: Builds can last from 1 hour to 1 day, with volunteers working in shifts or all together.
  • Space: We recommend around 1450 square feet for 10-20 people to work together and some coverage from the elements so you can work rain or shine. 
  • People: Anyone can build backpacks!

We can help in making your give-back initiatives easy and successful! It’s more than just a backpack.
