Backpacks and School Supplies Needed for Project Backpack
Speaking of backpacks, Project Backpack is collecting them for the Children of Katrina.
They’re looking for:
- Backpacks or a bag that zips closed filled with toys, books, school supplies.
- If you don’t have a bag, but do have loose items, they will accept them and put them in other bags.
- If you have bags but no items to fill them with, those are welcome also.
Recipients range from ages 0-18, but children from middle school to high school need them more. Items don’t have to be new, just gently used. For more information, here’s a list - what to pack (and what not to pack). Full project details are at the Project Backpack Wiki.

On behalf of its founders, thank you for mentioning project backpack (http://www.projectbackpack.org)! I’ve been asked to research blogs that have mentioned the cause and to spread the word of a new project underway by the PBP founders.
Project 800 (http://www.project800.org/) has been started in hopes of helping hurricane victims via telephone. More information can be found at the project800.org website. If you’re able to help with some of your time and spread the word that would be terrific.
