Lifebridge Backpack Program

Volunteers pose for the camera at the Lifebridge Backpack Program's give a backpack day.

In 2017, a wonderful family collaborated with the Waring School (Beverly, MA) to start a backpack program for the homeless women and men we serve. They understood the need for dignity and being able to hold something tangible in their hands.

It All Started with a Backpack

“The knowledge that you own something that no one can take away is revolutionary.  It changes the way you walk, talk, and think.  It brings back your confidence.  It restores dignity.”

– Founding Family Member of the Lifebridge Backpack Program

The Lifebridge Backpack Program provides a backpack full of personal care items for the vulnerable population we serve. These items with cleanliness and personal hygiene, giving a positive sense of self.  These CITYPAK backpacks have special features specifically designed for the homeless population such as:

  • Several pockets for storage
  • Strong, heavy-duty material
  • Protects from weather and theft
  • Anti-theft webbing loops and straps
