The Backpack Project, Inc. (TBP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that assembles backpacks filled with food, clothes, and toiletries and hand-delivers them to individuals experiencing homelessness. Run entirely by undergraduates at the University of Georgia, TBP has distributed more than 8,000 backpacks to homeless communities in Atlanta, Athens, and Augusta, GA. Using TBP's model of packing more than 40 supplies into every backpack for less than $20, even a small contribution can go a long way in easing the burden of homelessness, one backpack at a time.
