Below are some of the ways you can get involved with Backpack Friends!
Packing Parties
Our team of difference-makers is the heart and soul of our program. And who doesn't love a good time?!? Whether it's scouts, church groups, civic groups or corporate groups, come join our packing parties!
Individual Volunteers
Can you help us for a few hours in the workroom? We're ALWAYS in need of volunteers to help us stock, count, sort, and prep bags and bins.
Email admin@backpackfriends.com to get on our volunteer list or text 512-965-3052.
Delivery Volunteers
Can you drive? Backpack Friends delivers food to kids EVERY week so there is a constant need for drivers!
To volunteer with our campus delivery team, choose a campus near you.
Fundraisers
Do you have a passion for events? Do you have good organizational skills? We'll try almost everything! Fun runs. Foodie Crawls. Concerts. House parties. Child sponsorships. Yard sales. Hunger walks. Motorcycle tour rides. Church lock-ins. Food drives. Even our online store. If you love talking to people, this is YOUR spot! Email admin@backpackfriends.com to join our team.
Corporate and Individual Sponsorships
Some volunteers are door-openers: they help us partner with local businesses, as well as large corporations, who also want to make an impact thru their community development programs. Every little bit helps...see our #831 Story, then visit the Partners page.
