Our Programs
Volunteer
We have about 100 volunteers: part time residents and full timers who collect, pack, move and deliver the essential items we provide. If you have a skill or service that you are willing to contribute, please click on the "Contact Us" link above.
You may Contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Susan Ricard, or President Naomi Jodoin or email: backpackangels1@gmail.com or sricard88@gmail.com to become a volunteer.
Our valuable volunteers deserve recognition for their dedication and they deserve the gratitude of North Port for stepping up and giving of themselves to help "our" children in need.
Be a "Backpack Angel" Volunteer.
