Prepared to excel with every pack.
Supporting Stafford students for the 2026–2027 school year!

Welcome to the Empower Pack Project! This is a movement of true community compassion across Stafford County Public Schools. Through our Pack Pals initiative, we match local students directly with caring donors to provide personalized backpacks filled with the exact resources they need to thrive.

Our goal is simple: ensure every student walks into the first day of school feeling confident, valued, and prepared to excel. But we can’t do it alone. Whether you are an individual, a local business, or a faith-based organization, there is a place for you in this movement.
