Kids crave stability, but foster care, though necessary, can strip that feeling away. Many are removed from home with little more than the clothes on their backs, facing uncertainty when they need comfort the most.

The Give Back Pack provides essentials and little joys that make them feel loved and seen, whether it’s an overnight emergency backpack, a school supplies pack, a holiday gift, a Halloween costume, or a small surprise to brighten their day.

For 10 years, The Give Back Pack has grown thanks to the generosity of our community, local businesses, and volunteers who believe every child deserves to feel supported and seen.
