Backpacks 4 Kids Program
For two years now, Honsador Lumber has implemented their Backpacks 4 Kids program. Honsador recognized that some families might not have the time or resources to buy new school supplies every year, and to ease the stress from the first few days of school, Honsador packs and delivers backpacks stuffed with supplies to public schools across the Hawaiian Islands. To date, Honsador has delivered over 1,500 backpacks in two school years..
These backpacks were provided to public schools based on the need for school supplies for their students, and the school administration and teachers can then distribute these backpacks to any students short on supplies. This Backpacks 4 Kids program is something Honsador hopes to carry on year after year. With some of Honsador’s own employees as alumni of these various schools, they have the opportunity to give back in a special way to their communities. We know the first weeks of school can be stressful for students and families, but Honsador wants to help every kid start the school year with confidence!
