The Backpack Operation 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.



Filling the Backpacks.

We have put together a list of items needed to build packs to give out to the community. Check out our wish list to send us specific items you wish to donate.

Help us Continue the Mission

Please consider a monetary donation. The funds collected will be used to purchase additional items needed in order to fill our packs for those in need.
