With the help of friends, family, the Hanover
Central community, Girl Scouts, and Watts
neighborhood, Watts Backpack Baggers is
made possible.
Baggers and have helped me achieve my dream. I am fortunate
that the Children’s Museum chose me to be a part of a great
program that not only recognizes the power of youth, but has
made sure that my project has prospered.
In 2010, the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis,
through the Power of Children Awards,
presented me with a $2000 grant to help further
my organization. With this grant, Watts was
able to get a surplus of items such as scissors,
pencil cases, and backpacks in order to meet
the number of request from different places.
Also my organization now coordinates with a
local food pantry where it runs a mini-store.
People are now able to not just get school items
but toys, clothes, books, and shoes all for free.
Anniversary
I am truly thankful for all those who have
continuously donated to Watts Backpack
