Detroit Backpack Project

The Detroit Backpack Project in Detroit, Michigan provides essential resources and information to people experiencing homelessness through thoughtfully assembled backpacks. Each pack includes a Homeless Resource Guide listing local shelters, food programs, health services, and employment assistance, along with hygiene items and weather-appropriate gear. By combining practical support with accessible information, the project helps individuals navigate available community resources while promoting dignity, safety, and connection within Detroit’s unhoused population.
