There is something pretty special about seeing our warehouse fill up with backpacks.

Not empty backpacks—but backpacks filled with everything a child needs to walk into school ready for the year ahead.

Because of the generosity of our community, students at our partner schools will receive backpacks packed with notebooks, folders, pencils, crayons and other school essentials. For families balancing the rising cost of groceries and everyday expenses, that support matters.

At Baltimore Hunger Project, our work has always been about removing barriers to learning. Sometimes that means weekend food. Sometimes it means stocking a school pantry. And sometimes it means making sure a child has the supplies they need on the first day of school.

To everyone who purchased, filled, collected and delivered backpacks for our students—thank you.

You helped make the start of this school year a little easier for families and a lot brighter for kids.

Deliveries arrive at our warehouse, but we see where it’s headed next.

Into weekend food bags. Onto school pantry shelves. And ultimately, into the hands of children who need it.

Our warehouse team keeps thousands of items moving each week so children across our community have one less barrier standing between them and learning.

Because hunger shouldn’t determine what’s possible for a child.

One of the best parts of our summer was opening our doors each week for Message Makers and Coffee & Kindness — and welcoming back the same groups of friends who came together, week after week, to create thousands of handwritten notes for the children we serve.

Before summer ended, they left us one more gift.

Some of their favorite messages now live on our glass boards at Baltimore Hunger Project — a daily reminder of the kindness, encouragement and community that filled our space all summer long.

Kindness leaves its mark. And this one will stay with us!

A huge thank you to Camps Airy & Louise for an incredible donation of nonperishable food!

With their summer season wrapping up, they generously shared their surplus with Baltimore Hunger Project. These items will head straight to our partner schools, helping stock pantries and giving students and families access to food when they need it.

We’re grateful for partners who see an opportunity to make a difference—and act on it.

There are several ways companies can partner with BHP — from packing sessions and sponsorships to food drives and collecting our most-needed items. We’ll work with your team to create an opportunity that makes sense for your company while directly supporting the children we serve.

The warehouse was buzzing today.

Our incredible Thursday volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help reorganize our space as we prepare for another school year of serving children across Baltimore. At the same time, donations kept arriving—hygiene kits, birthday kits, and snack bags—each one a reminder of how our community continues to show up.

Every box moved, every kit delivered, and every volunteer hour brings us one step closer to a strong start for the school year.

We can’t wait to show you what’s taking shape. Stay tuned!
