Mission Statement
Packs 4 a Future was created to arm homeless and other underprivileged children with school supplies and other necessities for everyday life. We strive to generate excitement in children about learning and to ensure they have all the proper and necessary tools to do so.
Description
It is hard enough in today's world to get children excited and eager to learn. By putting in the hands of these children the necessary tools and supplies to do so it makes learning fun again instead of one more thing these kids have to worry about.
We also go beyond just school supplies and use any extra money raised for other necessities including, but not limited to, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair care, books, etc.
Lastly, we will occasionally hold "study nights" at the shelters and will bring in pizza and other goodies for the children to enjoy while we assist with homework/studies. As we expand our volunteer base we hope to make these regular events.
