All donations go directly toward supporting our organization and furthering our mission.

We currently pay $880 per month to rent storage containers. Gas for distributions costs approximately $600 or more each month. These two expenses alone add up to an annual operational cost of $17,760.

Each backpack we build costs around $75, unless we receive donated items to help offset the cost. In 2024, we distributed over 1,200 backpacks, which equates to a total expense of $90,000—and that number continues to grow.

All of our work is powered by dedicated volunteers using their own vehicles, with most even covering their own gas.

As we expand our service areas, we are seeking to add one or two vehicles for distributions, a warehouse to centralize our storage, and an office space to keep all of our business files organized in one place.
