Backpack Society is a non-profit that is driven by a single goal to remove food insecurity as an obstacle for children so they can grow, learn, and thrive. With the support of volunteers, the community & partnerships with local schools, we provide food to kids on weekend & breaks, when they don't have access to it at school.
We have several programs:
-Bag Program: We pack bags of food and deliver them to schools to be put in students backpacks so they have enough food for the weekend.
-Family Box Program: We pack boxes of food for the whole family with fresh produce, meat, eggs, milk and non-perishable items taking into consideration allergies. Families can sign up for the boxes weekly and pick them up on Thursday nights.
-School Pantries: We provide food for schools so they can provide snacks or emergency food for students at their school.
-Crisis Boxes: Backpack Society packs boxes of food and toilitries for a family or student to get through 24 hours in an emergency situation.​
At Backpack Society we're collecting food donations and raising funds for students who are struggling with food insecurity.
We partner with schools in Douglas County & Littleton Public School Districts to reach students in need.

We are a 100% volunteer & community supported nonprofit based in Highlands Ranch.
