Backpacks for Hope

Make a Donation

Our 12th Annual Backpacks for Hope campaign launches June 2023! This year's collections are now closed.

ABOUT

Collecting new backpacks and school supplies to distribute to children of survivors in domestic violence shelters across Texas. Backpacks are filled with school supplies, safety planning literature, and a discreet tag that lists TAP’s toll-free legal line.
