💙💛 Continuing Our Thanks to Our 2025–2026 School Year Supporters! 🎒

Earlier this week, we recognized our Partner Level donors, and today we're shining the spotlight on another wonderful group of businesses and organizations that helped support Guilford Backpack Ministry during the 2025–2026 school year!

🌟 Our Supporter Level Donors contributed $500–$1,999, helping us provide food and basic necessities to students facing food insecurity in Northern and Northwest Guilford County.

It's because of generous community partners like these that we can continue making a difference, one backpack at a time.

❤️ We Need YOU! Help Us Make a Difference! 🎒

Did you know Guilford Backpack Ministry is a 100% volunteer-run organization? Everything we do is made possible by dedicated volunteers who generously give their time and talents to support our mission and make a difference in the lives of local students and families.

As we continue to serve our community, we’re looking for a few more helping hands in two important areas!

🎄 Christmas Store Planning Team: Our Christmas Store is Saturday, December 12! Help us plan this special event where families enrolled in our ministry can shop for clothing, fun gifts, and everyday necessities.

📣 Marketing & Community Outreach Team: Help us spread the word about our mission, connect with local schools, and build awareness throughout our community!

Whether you enjoy planning events, connecting with people, or sharing a meaningful cause, there’s a place for you!

See the heart behind the Guilford Backpack Ministry!

What does it take to get thousands of backpacks ready for local students? It takes a community coming together.

In this video, hear from some of the people who make the Backpack Ministry possible and get a behind-the-scenes look at one of our packing nights—from the volunteers who show up to pack, to the people who help make this ministry happen year after year.

Every backpack represents more than school supplies. It represents a community coming together to remind local students that they are supported, valued, and cared for.

We’re grateful for every volunteer, donor, church, business, school, and community partner who helps make this ministry possible. ❤️

This is what happens when a community comes together—one backpack at a time.

🎥 Watch the video and see the Backpack Ministry in action.
