Backpacks and supplies

Why Backpacks and Supplies Matter

Many survivors leave in a hurry, with only what they can carry, sometimes with nothing at all. A backpack filled with the basics means one less thing to worry about on the hardest day.

So far, we've given out 241 "Only the Best" backpacks, and the need keeps growing.
