Backpack to Belonging... One Step at a Time

The Backpack Experience Walk is an immersive, experiential journey designed to build empathy, awareness, advocacy, and action around the challenges facing our neighbors living with housing insecurity. Pack a single backpack with only essential items: food, water, personal hygiene supplies, clothing layers, medications, bedding, and documents, then join fellow Panthers on a guided walk along the Blue Line to the Safe House Homeless Shelter, culminating in a service project.
