The Backpack Program is an annual event held the first week in August in the Tres Colonias Sugar Beet Park, in coordination with the City of Fort Collins' Neighborhood Night Out. It aims to provide new backpacks and school supplies to children from varying backgrounds, including working-class and low-income families, to help them start the new school year.

Here's what you need to know:

• Our Backpack Program has assisted hundreds of children and families since its establishment.
• Hosting the event alongside Neighborhood Night Out encourages neighborhood connections and fosters community unity.
• Donations are accepted throughout the year to avoid starting from scratch each year.
• Transparency and trust are core values that guide our work. We assure you that your donation will be used to support the specified cause, with a small portion potentially redirected to our general fund to maintain the sustainability of our mission and uphold your trust in us.
