Our Partnership
Bags Without Barriers is doing vital, community-driven work — getting backpacks and supplies to underserved youth and families who need them most. We're proud to support their mission and help make that work a little easier.
Every ReFasten order contributes directly to their efforts. It’s one small way we can stand behind an organization that shows up where it counts.
