The Free Will to Provide ALL Families with Quality & Affordable Backpacks, some including Pre-Filled Supplies!

Why Bags Well Packed?

This flagship endeavor of "Bags Well Packed" origin comes from parents who often dropped the ball on "Back to School Supplies" for our own children. By the time we’d make it to Walmart, Target, or any one of our local stores, most of the inventory was depleted, often times leaving us scrambling to make sure we weren't in a position of having to come home to a 9-year-old looking at us as the villains instead of the heroes. 

This endeavor also stems from the pure fact that by the time we could locate a backpack, we still had to get supplies. It is almost like hearing our daughter saying now: "Mommy! Daddy! you're not new to this...get it together!" Needless to say, we spent much more than we were comfortable with as we do every year.

As parents, we know all too well what it feels like to send a child to school without a backpack or supplies. And as educators, we know what it is like to look into the eyes of a child who only wishes that Mommy or Daddy could afford to purchase them backpacks and/or supplies. This is why when our nine-year-old daughter presented the idea to purchase backpacks for her and her siblings and students who share her similar experiences, we did not hesitate to jump into action.

The Bagwell family’s goal is to donate 350 backpacks to 15 Minneapolis Public Schools!

Bags Well Packed for elementary students include a fashionable backpack, notebooks, folders, pencils, pencil sharpener, a pencil pouch, glue sticks, scissors and crayons.
