Volunteer: First Night Backpack Drive & Assembly

HumanKind is looking for individuals, families, businesses, schools, churches, and community groups to help support children entering foster care through our First Night Backpack program.

When children are removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect, they often leave with very few belongings — sometimes carrying their items in trash bags. Our First Night Backpack program helps provide comfort, dignity, and essential items for a child’s first night in foster care by giving them a backpack or duffle bag filled with basic necessities and comfort items.

We currently have plenty of backpacks and duffle bags, but we need help collecting items to fill them, including:
• Pajamas (all sizes)
• New socks
• Shampoo & conditioner
• Age-appropriate books

Groups and volunteers can host donation drives and then come on-site to help assemble First Night Backpacks for children entering care. This is a meaningful hands-on opportunity that directly supports children during one of the most difficult moments in their lives.
