The Hawaiʻi Police Department will again participate in a backpack drive for children who cannot afford to buy them.
As in previous years, all police stations around the island will double as drop-off points for persons interested in helping children in need.
Backpacks may be dropped off between now and Aug. 30, 2017.

Backpacks have been identified as the most requested non-food item for charities in Hawaiʻi.
The donated backpacks will be distributed to children at women’s shelters, homeless shelters and transitional housing facilities around the Big Island.
This is the ninth consecutive year the police department has worked in partnership with HOPE Services Hawaiʻi (formerly known as the Office of Social Ministry) and Camp Agape Big Island.
