Backpacks, Big Hearts, and Bright Futures: A Huge Thank You to Our Volunteers and Sponsors! 

We’re still buzzing with gratitude after our Backpack Pack-a-Thon Volunteer Event! 

Because of the time, energy, and generosity of the Housing Families community, over 500 backpacks were filled with essential school supplies and have been distributed to children experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. These backpacks ensured that students started the new school year with confidence and pride.
