One morning, one warehouse, and 1,000 empty backpacks. Teams of six fill each bag with notebooks, pens, a calculator, and a lunch box, then seal and label it for its school.

What to expect

  • Arrive at 9:00 for a ten-minute briefing.
  • Work in teams on a packing line, with music and breaks.
  • Families welcome: children over eight can help with an adult.

Every bag you pack goes to a child in one of our partner schools in September.
