Packz 4 Kidz

Every child deserves to walk into school feeling prepared, confident, and ready to learn. Through Packz4Kidz, we provide thousands of children across Colorado with brand-new backpacks filled with grade-specific school supplies, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

Why It Matters

For many families facing financial hardship, purchasing school supplies is a challenge. 1 in 5 Colorado children live in poverty, making basic educational resources out of reach for many. Studies show that students without proper school supplies are more likely to struggle academically, feel disconnected from their peers, and experience lower self-esteem.

Jessica Bachus, our founder and a former public school teacher, understands the profound impact of not having these essentials. Without the proper tools, children may feel embarrassed, insecure, and hesitant to engage in their education.

Denver Metro Area
 Avon
