Backpacks for Hope

Our Backpacks for Hope campaign is getting revamped! Please check back early 2025 for more information on dates and campaign details.

Our 2024 Backpacks for Hope campaign has ended. 

ABOUT

Collecting NEW backpacks and school supplies for children of victims in shelters across Texas. Backpacks are fitted with a discreet tag listing Texas Advocacy Project’s Legal Line 800.374.HOPE, information about our free legal and social services, and school supplies for the new school year.
