Backpacks for Kids in Care

  • Description:

    Backpacks for Kids in Care: Fostering the Future

    The Backpacks for Kids in Care program

    was started in 2010 as concerted effort

    for a Leadership Cortland Project. Since

    then, it has a grown into an annual SVHC

    event, collecting over 275 backpacks

    filled with personal items for children

    transitioning from their homes to the

    foster care system.

    For many children, this transition can be an unexpected and traumatic experience, and often these children are unable to collect any personal items before being placed in the system. The backpacks collected through this program give children in foster care something special and personal to call their own.
