Project Phases

Phase 1: 

Summer 

    The Backpack Squad is excited to announce that we're ramping up our efforts to gather school supplies as we prepare to fill bags for the upcoming school year With just two months to go until August, every contribution counts! Join us in making a difference for students in need by donating supplies or helping spread the word. Together, we can ensure that every child is ready to succeed

Phase 2

 

Gathering 

     July, we jump right into the exciting process of gathering, staging, and purchasing backpacks and school supplies while the Back to School sales are in full swing. This phase continues until August , ensuring we’re well-prepared for the new school year. However, our commitment doesn't stop there; we actively gather and purchase supplies year-round, keeping us busy even during the school year. Stay tuned for all the great things we’re on!

Phase 3

Registrations​

    To ensure that we have enough supplies for everyone, we require applications for receiving a backpack. This process helps us manage resources effectively and meet the needs of all applicants. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Phase 4

Sorting 

     In the middle of August, our dedicated team will begin sorting through all the bags and supplies that have been generously donated. This important step ensures that everything is organized and ready for distribution. We appreciate the community support and look forward to making a positive impact together
