Description

Without a place to call home, many people experiencing unhousedness must carry their belongings with them at all times. By collecting backpacks for Boston's unhoused, you help to ensure that people in need are able to safely carry their clothes, food, medications and other essential items. The end of the school year is a great time to collect old backpacks!
