Backpacks 4 VIC Kids was incorporated in November 2014 and operated from our Founder's home until June of 2016, when they moved to a commercial premise in Cranbourne, and more recently to a larger premise in Cranbourne West. Their purpose is to aid displaced children by providing the essentials needed most urgently, long before any arrangements have been made to further support them.  Often children are placed quickly into foster or kinship care, for example, without much more than what they are wearing at the time. We provide displaced children with a few essential items to help resource them, restoring dignity, self-worth, and to show them someone cares.
