Backpacks For The Street is an essential service throughout NYC and its boroughs bringing backpacks with food, toiletries and necessities to those struggling with homelessness.
Without our volunteers, we couldn’t do what we do to help those in need.
If you have any questions, email us at [email protected].
BFTS is committed to diversity from our leadership to our teams to those we assist. All are welcome.
Backpacks For The Street is an all-inclusive organization, providing a safe space for all. Diversity and inclusivity are paramount.
We do not discriminate against employees, volunteers, clients, or anyone seeking assistance regardless of age, gender, gender identity, religion, politics, sexual orientation, ethnicity, citizenship, immigration status, marital status, national origin, race, medical condition, physical or mental disability, or musical tastes.
We have a zero-tolerance policy regarding harassment, discrimination and bullying of any kind, as well as any inappropriate behavior or contact, especially of a sexual nature or verbal abuse.
