"New Beginnings Backpacks" aims to assist recently released men and women by providing them with customized backpacks filled with essential items to support their transition back into society. Sadly, there are numerous States that allow individuals to be released into homelessness. With the support of our local communities, we collect necessary and helpful items to include in each donated backpack. Items may include housing resources, food gift cards, phone gift cards, non-perishable food items, clothing, Narcan, and other necessities. Our goal is to offer the support needed to reduce recidivism across our nation.
