About Us
Packed for Success (PFS) is a student-led, non-partisan, non-profit organization founded in 2010 by Bree Key, who is now a 12th grader at Fluvanna County High School, VA. One of this organization’s primary goals is to collect NEW and GENTLY USED items for families and students who can’t afford them. "How can you expect a child to learn when they don't have the basic tools for success such as a pencil or backpack?" Go GREEN we are not asking you to go out and make purchase, just donate what you have, but don't use or need.
Over 700+ backpacks and school supplies donated to-date with the help of people like you.
