Help Pack Supplies for LGBTQ+ Teens in Foster Care • 4-3-16
For children in foster care, the backpack is more than a collection of items and a way to carry them – it’s proof that there are people who care at a time when they feel most alone.. At this special give-back event, volunteers met and assembled 100 backpacks specifically to benefit LGBTQ+ youth, delivered via New Jersey's Foster and Adoptive Family Services.
