Call For Action

The ways that volunteers can help and become part of the solutions is endless. These children need so much and everything Backpacks of Blessings does hastens their goal of normalcy and on to becoming part of the solution instead of being part of the problem.  A “Call to Action” can be achieved through many avenues, below are some suggestions.

 

  • As simple as handing out flyers to local businesses, churches, and people. These flyers can generate donations of back-to-school supplies and many other items needed by these community-based foster care homes. Flyers will be available online and at the university.

 

  • Holding a university sanctioned sporting event, attendees can either bring an item for the kids or donate a designated amount of money to attend. Ideas, Soccer Juggling event, a Yoga event, a cycling event, or any sporting event. How about a Fun-Run? Great idea and great avenue for success.

 

  • How much fun is a Scavenger Hunt or Karaoke Night? Maybe your local church would like to sponsor one of these. Backpacks of Blessing can easily help you set it up. What fun!

 

  • Maybe a campus FunFest, where local businesses display their goods and donate a portion of the proceeds to Backpacks of Blessing. It gives the local businesses an opportunity to display their wares while helping the children.

There are endless opportunities to help these children and improve their lives. Just go to contact us and let us know you want to help. Backpacks of Blessings will design a volunteer itinerary that will fit in to your busy lifestyle and make if FUN! Looking forward to changing the world!

Closets Full of Hope

Most of the time, the children arriving at these community-based foster homes arrive with little or nothing of their basic needs met.  Help us get the clothing and other necessities they need. We can do that by holding clothing drives, donations, and other special events to achieve our goal.

Welcome Boxes

Assemble Welcome Boxes

Once a volunteer is assigned a state-authorized community-based foster care home near the designated university, Backpacks of Blessings will begin the process of providing welcome boxes for the children to have and begin to feel better about themselves. It is difficult to imagine the anxiety a child can feel once removed from his or her home and being placed somewhere new. As we all know, these children enter foster care with little or no belongings, so these welcome boxes can help make them feel welcome.
