BACKPACKPROJECTMN
Welcome to BACKPACKPROJECTMN
Backpacks to help homeless youth on their journey from homeless to hopeful.
BackpackProjectMN
is simple:
We provide backpacks filled with daily-use personal care items to young people experiencing homelessness in the Twin Cities Metropolitan area of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. All of our backpacks are distributed by experienced outreach personnel at Youthlink MN.
How do we do it?
Volunteers collect donated backpacks and items from our supply list and assemble the packs for distribution. We use monetary donations to purchase items from the supply list that have not been donated. Once assembled, we deliver all of the backpacks to Youthlink MN, whose outreach workers are on the streets every single day assisting young people.
how can you help?
DONATE. Please see THE LIST and donate new, unused items from it. They can be shipped to us, dropped off, or we can arrange for local pickup! We can also accept monetary donations: our volunteers will be shopping for items to complete each backpack.
