Every Backpack Is a Lifeline

by TEEN HEALTH INC

Join Teen Health's Back to School 2026 campaign to distribute 500 backpacks by September 30, 2026, to young people experiencing homelessness across Los Angeles.

Each backpack is filled with healthy snacks, hydration, and essential supplies for youth ages 13 to 24 who lack consistent access to basic needs.

The Problem:
1 in 5 youth lack food security. Los Angeles has one of the highest concentrations of youth homelessness in the country, with more than 4,000 young people facing homelessness and consistent unmet basic needs.

The Solution:
For just $25, one dignity kit provides food, hygiene supplies, and daily essentials to a young person experiencing homelessness in LA. Each backpack costs $25 to assemble but delivers $50 in retail value through donated and discounted products, doubling every dollar given.

What is Inside Each Kit:
Healthy snacks
Hydration essentials
Personal care and hygiene items
Other practical supplies for safety and daily stability
All sourced through donations and partnerships to maximize every dollar given.

Corporate Partnership Levels:
✅ Kit Sponsor, $500 plus, name listed on Teen Health's partner page.
✅ Community Partner, $2,500 plus, logo on the Dignity Kit page plus a social media shoutout.
✅ Program Partner, $6,250 plus, logo on the homepage and tagged in the campaign wrap up recap.
✅ Presenting Sponsor, $12,500, fully funds the program with homepage logo, a dedicated feature post, and recognition as the official Presenting Sponsor.

This program is eligible for corporate matching gifts and supports youth development, homelessness services, and food security initiatives.

❤️ Every dollar given is doubled. Help us reach 500 young people across Los Angeles this fall.
