Welcome to Backpack Society

where happy hearts and bright futures start with full bellies.

At Backpack Society we’re raising funds and collecting food donations to serve our neighbors who need it most.

We partner with local schools to reach students in need.

Please join us by supporting our efforts to make

a measurable difference in the lives of students

and their families in our community.

Backpack Society serves Highlands Ranch,

Lone Tree, Sedalia, and Littleton.

ABOUT

A bit of background...

Here at Backpack Society, we are driven by a single goal; to do our

part in removing food insecurity as an obstacle for children

so they can grow, learn, and thrive.

We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive

impact with all of our pursuits.

WHO WE ARE

We are advocates, partners,

and collaborators dedicated to

changing the lives of students.

WHAT WE DO

We offer hope through a consistent

bag of easy-to-prepare meals on the

weekend so kids can focus on

important things - like being a kid.

We also offer weekly groceries

to their entire family.

WHY WE DO IT

The most at-risk students for food insecurity are also the ones who are most affected by the achievement gap, and poor academic outcomes that can have lifelong effects. By providing weekend food, we hope students will be well fed over the weekend and can come in Monday mornings, ready to learn.
