The Backpacks for Kids Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing children in need with quality backpacks & school supplies. As a result we are increasing literacy rates in the Greater Boston area. The Backpacks for Kids Foundation was founded in 2001 by Dover-Sherborn High School students Kaitlin Murphy, Kristen Raymond, Kim Roth, and Leslie Wardwell. The BFK organization has passed through many families in the Dover-Sherborn communities over the years. It started with 19 backpacks donated in 2001 and in 2024, we donated 783 backpacks.
The Foundation is currently led by Co-Directors Veronica Caldwell, Emily van Rhijn, Olivier van Rhijn, and Grant Mayer. |
