Backpacks for America is a 501c3 charity organization located in the Greater Boston Area that collects donations to purchase backpacks and living necessities and distribute them to people experiencing homelessness in our communities. We partner with other local non-profit organizations to ensure our backpacks reach those who need it the most in order to survive the harsh New England winters.
Backpacks for America officially formed in 2022, however started as a GoFundMe fundraiser in 2019 as a way for us to give back to the community. Over the years we have given hundreds of backpacks to individuals and families that experience homelessness. If you feel like you want to give back to your community, and want to make a difference with a grassroots organization, please consider joining our mission!
