  Each Spirit of Hope backpack carries more than items, it carries confidence, resilience, and the belief that each child and family can succeed.​ Through our back to school initiatives, children receive backpacks filled with notebooks, pencils, crayons, folders, age appropriate books, a personal letter of encouragement, and a Spirit the Dragonfly keychain, a symbol of hope and transformation they can carry with them every day.

The Spirit of Hope homeless backpacks provided were more than supplies they were messages of care, dignity, and belonging. Each backpack was filled with essentials and personal touches to remind every recipient they are not forgotten.

Inside were:

  • A letter of encouragement and personalized card

  • A Spirit of Hope keychain symbolizing resilience and hope

  • Essential daily items for comfort and hygiene

  • A warm blanket

  • A Spirit of Hope Skully cap with logo to keep warm

These backpacks were more than items in a bag they were symbols of compassion, restoring dignity and reminding each person: you matter, you are valued, and you are part of a community that cares.

Recipients We Served
