ABOUT OUR PACKS
Our care packs adapt to the seasons and your generous donations, both financial and in-kind. We prioritize providing essential items that are both practical and dignified. Every non-food item is brand new and unused, and the shelf-stable snacks are always something we'd eat ourselves. We focus on soft and easy-to-eat food options and unscented toiletries. These essential supplies are delivered in lightweight, easy-to-carry drawstring backpacks, ensuring recipients can easily transport their belongings.
Our goal is to deliver 150 - 300 packs per month. Each pack varies within $15.00 - 25.00 per pack, depending on product donations and funding available.
