Providing the tools every student needs to succeed

Backpacks for Bright Futures

Each year, United Way for Southeastern Michigan provides thousands of backpacks to students in need. But we need your help! Donate or sponsor today to help ensure students have all the tools they need to succeed.

Help students succeed

Every child deserves to start school with the tools they need to succeed, yet one in four students don’t have access to the supplies required at the start of the school year.

Through Backpacks for Bright Futures, we provide thousands of students across our region with backpacks full of essential school supplies, ensuring they can walk into the classroom prepared and eager to learn.

Help us fill 6,000 backpacks this year. Together, we can provide the tools every student needs to succeed.

Volunteers wheel carts of backpacks on sidewalk outside of school.
