How Does The Program Work?
​
Beacons Furry FUNdation Society collects school supplies for children in the most need in the communities throughout their coverage region. Backpacks filled with grade-appropriate school supplies are distributed to children through our communities as well as our agency partners which include schools, human services organizations, and more.

We collect new school supplies and monetary donations through drives hosted by individuals, organizations and businesses as well as through the ​Fill-a-Backpack Corporate and Community Challenges.

The Fill A Backpack program ensures struggling families children get to start the first day of school feeling confident and prepared to succeed academically.

​Why We Do What We Do
​
Children living in low-income families face many challenges and tremendous stigmatization. Showing up on the first day of school without the proper tools can make a child look and feel different from their fellow classmates which can be both embarrassing and stressful.

Each year, the school supply lists grows and families in need struggle to find a way to ensure their children have the necessary supplies required by the school.
​
By providing children in need with brand new backpacks filled with grade-appropriate school supplies, Beacons Furry FUNdation Society ensures that children in need can show up to school ready to start the new school year on the same level as their peers and excited to learn.

Help us fill gaps in supply needs. Donations allow us to acquire immediately needed supplies as they run low in our backpack filling assembly lines. Markers, Wide Ruled Spiral Notebooks, Wide Ruled Loose Leaf Paper, #2 Pencils, Black or Blue Pens, Colored Pencils, Graph Paper, Index Cards and Backpacks stock often run low. If you are shopping for these supplies, you can pick and choose from the list. If you are donating to this bundle, your gift will go toward the highest needed supplies.
