Packz 4 Kidz in Denver
Packz4Kidz has grown tremendously since its inception. From providing 131 backpacks to children in need in 2015, we are proud to have distributed over 7,800 backpacks across the state in 2023.
Our Founder, a former teacher for Denver Public Schools, witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by children arriving on the first day of school without the necessary supplies. Our mission is to ensure that every child feels prepared and confident.
This year at our Denver event, we aim to provide 3,000 low-income children with new backpacks filled with essential school supplies. Each child will have the opportunity to choose a new backpack packed with school supplies. Water bottles and lunch boxes will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, as we cannot guarantee one for every child.
The goal of the Packz4Kidz backpack program is to ensure children in the Denver metro area have the tools they need to succeed. We serve children from preschool through 12th grade, and you do not have to live in the City and County of Denver to benefit from this program.
Join us in making a difference. Support Packz4Kidz and help us empower the next generation of students.
