Los Angeles community outreach
100 People's Backpacks. 30 days.
A People's Backpack is practical support somebody can use immediately: food, water, clean socks, hygiene essentials and a durable backpack to carry it all.
Help fill one — $30
What goes inside
Simple things matter when you need them right now.
Food & water
Bottled water, fruit cup, tuna-and-cracker meal, a granola bar and other practical food items.
Hygiene & dignity
Hand wipes, feminine hygiene wipes when appropriate, and clean socks.
A reusable backpack
A stronger way to carry essentials than a disposable bag, with room for personal belongings too.
Why backpacks
Relief should be useful after the first five minutes.
We started by handing out People's Packs directly in the community. The backpack campaign is the next step: keep the food and essentials, but give people something durable they can continue using. The work stays direct, practical and human.
Give what you can. Help a friend.
Help us put 100 backpacks into the community.
