Enchanted Backpack works with teachers and principals to stock classrooms with learning tools ranging from pencils, crayons, paper, notebooks and binders to books, athletic equipment, socks, hats and gloves.
How do we pick our schools? We serve elementary and middle schools in the #Chicagoland area that have a minimum of 50% of their students participating in free or reduced lunch program.
