Brittany’s Backpack Ministry was founded in 2009. The purpose and passion behind the ministry are in honor of Brittany Nicole Smith who passed at the age 8 from Asthma. In memory of Brittany, who was incredibly generous and fond of school, they provide food, school supplies, and other resources to their neighborhood and under-resourced communities.
As part of our Pledge 1% partnership – ADAPTOVATE supported the organisation recently with launching their new website and providing business advice from the team.
