BP4K is a 501.c.3 organization founded by Airline Pilots working together with their local communities, Non-Government-Organizations, Non-Profit Charities, The Red Cross, and local Emergency Services to help displaced child-refugees and children affected by disasters by providing aid while they transition to a new life. BP4K is currently helping children affected by the Turkish earthquakes and we are continuing our work with Ukrainian refugees in Europe.
What we do:
BP4K’s primary mission is to provide backpacks filled with essential and comfort items (blankets, hats and gloves, toothbrush, etc.), to children affected by major crises anywhere on the globe. We also provide various other forms of aid centered around these same children as need and opportunities arise.
Current Operations:
In November, BP4K attended a “Christmas in November,” Red Cross event in Memphis where we donated over 600 backpacks. We have also completed setting up our US operations and are now ready to rapidly respond to a situation in the USA, with Canada and Mexico in the development phase. We plan on hosting another “Build—backpack-day,” in Louisville sometime this winter. Stay tuned for more info.
Recent Operations:
BP4K was at Oshkosh this past July. Visit our Oshkosh 2023 page for more information.
How you can help:
Donate! We use your contribution to source backpacks and supplies for kids ages 2-12 affected by natural disasters, conflicts & wars, and refugees. As opportunities arise, we also use your funds to provide relief and aid to children in other ways, such as delivering medicine, providing newborn supplies, meals, etc. To date we have delivered over 4,000 bags which we couldn’t have done without your donations.
Volunteer!
We need all kinds of volunteers: those wishing to help build backpacks, those who can drive them across the country when needed, those who can help distribute them, and lots more. Visit our Volunteer page for more information.
