Turning a Dream into Reality: Backpack Society is excited to announce the opening of the new No Cost Market!
The Backpack Society No Cost Market is officially open! Our clients can now chose between receiving a weekly box of food or shopping. The market gives families the opportunity to shop together weekly, and to select the items they need the most. The offerings include pantry items, meat, eggs, dairy and fresh produce. We are currently open on Thursday evenings by appointment only, and plan on offering extended hours in the future. Families can schedule an appointment using this link and going to the 'Family Grocery Program' section. https://www.backpacksociety.org
We are so thankful for all of our wonderful volunteers and partners who helped turn our market dream into a reality. We absolutely could not have done this without the amazing support from Home Depot in Highlands Ranch. They provided Backpack Society with a generous grant of $5,000 to use at Home Depot. With the money, BPS purchased the flooring for the market, the check in desk, shelving and office furniture. Home Depot kindly put together all of the furniture and shelving, plus laid the floor for us. Thank you, Thank you Home Depot... Backpack Society is beyond grateful for you!
