The Yah Yah Girls, Inc. "Home of The Back Pack Kidz"

It takes a village… and sometimes it takes a REALLY BIG truck and trailer!

A HUGE thank you to Jacob & Katie Marcoguiseppe the owners of Oasis Pavers LLC, for coming to the rescue and helping Back Pack Kidz pick up some of our EXTRA heavy supplies from Sam’s Club!

When you’re feeding approximately 1,000 children every week, the amount of food coming through our doors is no small task — and these pictures definitely tell the story! Jacob generously donated his time, truck, trailer, and some serious muscle to help us get this massive load picked up and back to our warehouse.

Of course, none of that food would have been ready and waiting for us without our wonderful Shannon King Westmoreland Sam's Club! ❤️ Shannon continues to go above and beyond to help make sure we have what we need to feed the children we serve. We are incredibly grateful for her support, kindness, and the way she always takes such good care of Back Pack Kidz.

And waiting for us on the other end was Matt TheMover and his amazing team, ready to unload ALL of it and get our warehouse stocked and ready to go. 💪📦🥛

Shannon, Jacob, Matt, and the entire crew — THANK YOU! This is truly a team effort, and we could not do what we do without incredible people and local businesses willing to step up and help.

Sam’s Club ➡️ Jacob & Oasis Pavers ➡️ Matt the Mover ➡️ our warehouse ➡️ the backpacks of local kids. 🎒

THIS is what community looks like!

If you don’t know Shannon, you’re missing out!

This amazing lady came into our lives, and we are incredibly thankful and grateful for her — and for her wonderful family, friends, and colleagues Sam's Club, too!

Shannon, along with her family and friends, so generously gave up their Saturday morning to come pack for Back Pack Kidz and help make sure the children of Charlotte County have food for the weekend. 🎒

Shannon, thank you for always showing up, always supporting our mission, and for reminding us all to “Have the best day ever!” Your kindness, generosity, and huge heart mean more to us — and to the children we serve — than you know.

We are so lucky you came into our Back Pack Kidz family! 🎒

🎒💙 A HUGE thank you to Casey Carr and her amazing Studio Seven crew! 💙🎒

They did it AGAIN! On their day off from school, this awesome group chose to spend part of their day with us at Back Pack Kidz, packing bags of food for children throughout Charlotte County. 🥰

We absolutely love seeing young people giving back to their community — and even more so when they keep coming back to help! ❤️

Casey, thank you for continuing to encourage such a wonderful spirit of kindness and service. And to the entire Studio Seven crew, THANK YOU for your hard work, your big hearts, and for helping us make sure local kids have the food they need each weekend.

We loved having you back! 🎒🥫💙

🧙‍♀️✨ Witches, Goblins & GLITZ! ✨👜
What a FABULOUS day at Back Pack Kidz Designer Bag Bingo yesterday at The Isles Yacht Club!
It was an incredible afternoon filled with designer bags, bingo, amazing costumes, lots of laughs, and most importantly, a community coming together to support the children of Charlotte County. 🎒❤️
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, donated, sponsored, volunteered, and helped make this event such a success! Every dollar raised helps Back Pack Kidz provide food to local children who may otherwise go without.
We couldn’t do what we do without this amazing community — and you all certainly know how to put the GLITZ in giving! ✨💜
THANK YOU for supporting Back Pack Kidz!

💚 Thank You, Publix Charities! 💚
Back Pack Kidz is incredibly grateful to Publix Super Markets Charities for their generous $6,000 grant in support of our mission!
This funding will help us continue providing weekend food bags to local children who may otherwise face food insecurity when school meals are not available.
Because of community partners like Publix Charities, we are able to continue making sure children in our community have food to take home each weekend.
We are so thankful for their continued support and commitment to our local families!

A HUGE thank you to the Parrot Heads for their incredible generosity! 🦜❤️

Not only did they collect an amazing amount of snacks that we were able to distribute to three local school snack pantries, they also presented Back Pack Kidz with a very generous $1,000 donation! 🎒

We are incredibly thankful for their continued support of our mission and the children in our community. Your generosity helps us in so many ways and allows us to continue making sure our local kids have the food they need.
