Common questions

Who do the backpacks go to?

We're partnering with Atlanta Angels, a local nonprofit that walks alongside children and families in the foster care community. Every backpack you fill goes to a child they serve — a real, tangible way to let a student know they're seen and loved as they head back to school.

Do I have to fill the whole list?

Yes — please fill the entire list. Each backpack goes to a specific student, so a complete set of supplies makes sure every student starts the year with exactly what they need. Use the checklist above to grab everything in one trip.

Where do I bring my backpack?

Bring it to a Sunday gathering at our 515, Cumberland, or Trilith location on July 12 or 19. Check the drop-off details above for gathering times at each location.

What kind of backpack should I buy?

A standard, sturdy backpack works great. Commonly requested themes include Disney, Marvel, Bluey, Paw Patrol, Princess, JanSport, Nike, and Adidas.

Thank you for loving our city.
