Words From Our Partners

"CITYPAK helps us to reach the most vulnerable, like those without housing, and supply them with hygiene kits and one of a kind products that they treasure and use daily as a means of security for their belongings."

Donia Abdallah, Northeast Regional Programs Coordinator, Islamic Relief USA
"CITYPAK backpacks are high-quality, specialized backpacks that hold the items that we feel are essentials for surviving life on the streets in the St. Louis winter. Our recipients know that they are being shown respect and kindness by an organization that cares."

Kathy Acre, Founder, and President, BACK@YOU
“The CITYPAK is the centerpiece of our project to provide backpacks and supplies to unstably housed LGBTQ youth in Chicago. The high quality, durability, and special design features of the CITYPAK make it uniquely suited for this highly vulnerable population.”
