"Volunteering at The Backpack Project has CHANGED MY LIFE....."

Serving as a mentor for 5 years with The Back Pack Project,Inc. Mentoring has been an astounding experience, positive impact and rewarding journey!

This blessing has afforded me an opportunity to interact and interface with children of various ethnicity and for the betterment of children to read, write routinely, not get involved in criminal activities; to maximize their potential, become productive citizens and have a purpose in their lives to help others and to develop and practice healthy wholesome lifestyles.
