Donate to Build-A-Better Backpack

Donate to Build-A-Better Backpack with HELP USA so our 800 school-aged children living in HELP USA homeless shelters and supportive housing can head back to the classroom with confidence in September.

How it Works:

Step 1

You select a stuffed backpack from this site.

Step 2

Our partner Sydney Paige delivers them to us in NYC.

Step 3

HELP USA's staff puts them in the hands of our students.

These families have a lot to worry about but with your help, backpacks and school supplies won’t be a problem! Thank you for being a part of our community so we can help people build better lives. Contact HELP USA if you have questions or need more information.

walk with help usa on december 7

Join HELP USA for Winter Walk NYC 2025 — a two-mile walk through Central Park on Sunday, December 7 at 10:00 AM.

This powerful day of solidarity brings together housed and unhoused New Yorkers to reduce stigma, raise awareness, and support real solutions to homelessness.

We’re walking in honor of our 40th anniversary and aiming to raise $40,000 to support programs that keep New Yorkers safely housed.
