The Backpack Squad

We are at the Maple Grove Target until 7p tonight for a last minute give away.

We are all ready for our final distribution event of the week and our biggest one yet!!

510 total backpacks packed and ready to go!

Elk Rivers Distribution went great.
We have 4 more stops left and are so grateful to be able to help all these students.

We couldn't have done with without every single donation.
Whether one pack of crayons for a box of notebooks, each and every item is used.

Also a special Thank you Elk River Eagles #3264 for your generous monetary donation, that allowed us to purchase the remaining 287 notebooks needed, 50 folders, bands for identification and scissors.

Rogers Otsego Dayton Women of Today for ensuring all students received headphones 🎧 or Ear buds! Our #1 supporters and the reason we are growing as fast as we are! Thank you ladies! 💚❤️💜
Taking it a step further than traditional giveaways, we try to get most items needed.

A huge THANK YOU to Dawn, Debi, Jessica and Madison (not on fb) for your amazing help and hard work in the heat today to finish packing the 200+ backpacks remaining.

A HUGE thank you to Dawn and Robert for being amazing! Coming over to work in the heat, fill these bags and for all your help with the behind the scenes. I could not do it without you both!!
