The Backpack Squad

Its a senior trend! Across states, high schools etc.....

The reasons behind our mission 💙💜💚

These are the types of people the Backpack Squad has been able to impact - real families in our communities who are receiving backpacks and school supplies for their children.

We're proud to serve a wide service area because we believe it's best to help as many people as possible, rather than limiting ourselves to just one small zip code. Every child deserves to start the school year prepared, no matter where they live.

When we see messages like these from grateful families, it reminds us why we do this work. It's not about boundaries on a map - it's about reaching every child who needs our help.

Our reach has been possible thanks to partnerships and referrals from amazing organizations including:

United Way

White Earth Community newsletter
Foster Care Support Emails

Sherburne County Social Services
Anoka County Social Services

Twin Cities Frugal Mom

Thank you to everyone who supports our mission to spread hope and supplies far and wide. Together, we're making back-to-school a little brighter for families across the Twin Cities! 🎒✏️
