The Backpackers is a non-profit organization that aims to help the less fortunate in the Chicagoland area. We aim to provide the homeless and others in need with food, clothing, hygiene supplies, basic medical supplies, gear, and/or any other materials they may need in their day to day lives. Our organization also aims to assist Women's Shelters, Halfway Homes, and Homeless Shelters. We aim to offer support to anyone in the community who may need temporary assistance with obtaining food and/or shelter.
