"We're going to pass these out to young people that are experiencing homelessness or housing instability through our homeless youth programs throughout the state," said Erin Kelly, Waypoint.
"It's just been a huge project,” said Al Goldstein, Lions Club. “There's over 150 Lions here packing these backpacks."
The backpacks will be distributed through Waypoint programs across the state.
