Backpack Buddy Success

The First Year of the Summer Backpack Buddy Program involved three schools in Winfield, WV.

52 Students from 23 different families received 198 ‘Backpacks’ during the Summer Break.

Since that first summer, the BackpackBuddy.Org Program, has grown to help communities in six West Virginia Counties and one County in Kentucky to support 16,148 students by mailing 50,771 boxes of nutritional, personal care, and educational items. 

We are always interested in sharing the Program and help other communities to launch their own Summer Programs.
