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.
COVID-19 Impact
Beacons Furry FUNdation Society's need for Fill-a-Backpack donations has grown in it's founding year of this fund due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re adopting virtual donation options in order to provide a safe experience for all of our donors to continue to be involved in supporting children with their needed supplies. Our goal is to give children a sense of normalcy and to be on the same footing as their peers by providing them with these necessary supplies. With school ending so abruptly this past year, creating a solid foundation for the new school year is more important than ever.

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.
