Woman Fills 200 Backpacks With Love for Homeless To Deliver in Single Night

A woman’s simple plan to help the homeless took off so fast, it outgrew her basement and brought in volunteers from across the city.

Kathy Acre thought she’d fill a few backpacks with hats, gloves, and snacks for homeless people in St. Louis, Missouri.

She may have started off with just 20 backpacks, but this weekend—one full year later—her “Back@You” project plans to deliver more than 200 fully stocked backpacks to people in need in a single night.
