Opportunity Details
2024 Backpacks to School: Community Packing Day
Each summer, the Sharing Shelf holds its Backpacks to School initiative to provide low-income Westchester children and teens with backpacks and school supplies. Using feedback from local teachers, each backpack is matched to an individual child or teen and includes grade-appropriate items to ensure they have the tools they need to start school with confidence.
The Sharing Shelf has shopped for the supplies, but it needs volunteers to come together to pack the backpacks. This project is open to volunteers aged 18+, though volunteers can be as young as 6 so long as they are registered alongside an adult when the adult selects "Express Interest as a Family, Group, or Team.
Every volunteer must be registered, including children. A suggested donation of $35 (or more) to participate will fill a backpack. Express interest below.
