Pack-a-Back 2018 Has Launched!

Fundraising has begun for Pack-a-Back 2018! Already, events are being planned, school supplies are being collected and lives are being changed. PackaBack.org has been refreshed for 2018 and online donations are starting to come in. The excitement that we see in our volunteers is a direct result of the cause in which they serve.

Mission of Pack-a-Back

To show kids how much we care about their future by providing the necessary school supplies to begin a journey of learning so they are excited and prepared to pursue their goals from day one and realize their dreams and the dreams of their parents.

“Fill a backpack. Fulfill a dream.”

2018 Goal: $50,000 and 1,000 Backpacks!

Our goal for 2018 is to raise $50,000 and provide 1,000 backpacks to children in need. Help us send these kids to school with all the school supplies they need, a new backpack and a new pair of shoes because every child in Silicon Valley should show up to the first day of school feeling good and prepared to learn. These children are our future; let's show them we care by making an investment in them!

How To Contribute

There are so many ways to contribute to this amazing cause. Please consider doing some or all of the items below.  We need YOUR help!
