For 20 years, Indy BackPack Attack’s mission has been to provide children the tools they need to succeed in school. Since their beginning, over 6 million supplies have been collected to help tens of thousands of students across Indiana. All supplies are given to students at IPS and Mayor’s Chartered Schools.
