The Backpack Program

In 2018, Krissy headed up a backpack program and collected over 100 backpacks filled with school supplies in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools. MRFC works to continue this program in partnership with Y Learning to provide school supplies to underserved populations and carry out the cause Krissy sought to work towards.

Testimonials

“We are extremely thankful to have partnered with MRCF! The amount of time and work went into organizing, purchasing, and packing 130 backpacks full of school supplies for our Y Learning students is truly amazing. I know I speak for all of the Y Learning students at the YMCA - thank you MRCF and your supporters for your generosity and love you have shown to the kids in our community!”

The BOLD Foundation is honored to work in collaboration with the Monet Foundation to improve the lives of children in need in our local community as this is our core mission. We are proud to assist Pat in honoring the legacy of her daughter Krissy in giving back to the underserved youth near and dear to us.

“Y Learning helps me finish my homework with support from the teachers. I like being here with my friends when school is done.”
