About
We need your help!
Youth Villages guarantees that all school-aged children in our programs have the school supplies needed to achieve their academic goals. Our annual Backpack Heroes fundraiser provides new backpacks and supplies to hundreds of deserving children across West Tennessee who can’t afford to purchase these items. With your help, we can ensure Youth Villages’ children are on the path to a great education and future!
Once we have gathered all of the necessary supplies, we will need help stuffing the backpacks and would love to have you there! Please feel free to sign up for individual times or the entire time if you are able; it’s up to you and your schedule. We will provide snacks and a fun time!
If you’d like to do more donate now or shop for one of the children in our care using the wish list provided!
