The Backpack Project is a nonprofit organization working in local communities to fight against homelessness.
9-year-old founder, Ryan Gustis, was inspired to help after seeing a woman sitting with a sign that said, “I’m not a bad girl, I just made a bad choice.”
He soon realized that this woman’s struggles were not out of the ordinary. Now, Ryan and the entire organization are working for a world where dignity and kindness are hand-delivered in the form of a backpack full of supplies.
Learn how Ryan’s desire to help others kick-started a fight against homelessness and how you can #PackTheKindness.
