THE BACKPACK PROJECT, INC.

The Backpack Project, Inc. (TBP) provides backpacks filled with food, clothes, and toiletries to those who are experiencing homelessness in Georgia. One of the core tenets of TBP is to form meaningful and lasting connections with each individual that they encounter. Each backpack costs $20 to make and includes 40+ essential supplies. The organization is run entirely by students who dedicate their time to ending the cycle of homelessness. They view philanthropy as a lifestyle, rather than an activity.
