We pack backpacks for veterans in West Virginia. We have handed out 550 of them in the last two and a half years. Every one was filled by hand in Summersville. Here is what goes in one:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Body wash</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Shaving cream</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Razors</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Small bath towels</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Washcloths</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Deodorant</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Wipes</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Zip lock bags</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Hand warmers</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Ponchos</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Small blankets</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Beanies</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Socks</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Flashlights</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Toothbrushes</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Combs and hair brushes</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Bibles</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Snacks</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Can openers</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Water bottles</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Toiletries</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Playing cards</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Lighters and matches</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Nail clippers</li></ul> It costs about $75 to fill a backpack. Nothing in it is complicated. It is the stuff a person needs and does not always have. $25 a month fills four backpacks a year. It also pays the insurance, the phone, and the rent on the room where we pack them. Those things are not glamorous and nobody puts them on a poster, but without them there is no place for the next backpack to get filled and no way to get it to the veteran who needs it.&nbsp;Your monthly gift covers all of it. Set it up once. Four more veterans get a backpack every year and you never have to think about it again. We are a small operation. There is no marketing department. There is a donation drop-off on Church Street, a shelf full of backpacks, and a list of veterans who need them. Your monthly donation makes it all possible.&nbsp; Backpacks 4 Veterans is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. EIN 99-4058318. Your donation is tax deductible and your receipt is emailed to you automatically. Backpacks 4 Veterans receives 100% of your donation. At checkout you will see an optional contribution to Zeffy, the platform that gives us our donation tools for free. It is completely optional and you can set it to zero.
