Backpack Drive makes orphans feel loved, provides needed supplies

Posted: 29 February, 2008

USA (MNN) ― Orphan Outreach just kicked off a new project called Mission Backpack. They distributed backpacks last year, but this is backpack collection on a larger scale.
Churches, schools, and other organizations are encouraged to organize a backpack drive. Orphan outreach will supply posters to advertise. They will also provide luggage tags for each backpack that is expected to be collected. Luggage tags are a unique part of the distribution. Tiffany Taylor with Orphan Outreach said, "People can write a personal note to those children letting them know they are loved by the person who collected the backpack and also loved by God and their Heavenly Father. Those luggage tags will stay with the backpacks. So, every day when the children get ready to go to school, they will remember that they are loved."
