GoGive Backpack is built for teams that want their CSR event to mean something. Instead of making a donation and calling it a day, your group earns the items through a series of quick, lively challenges, then uses them to fill backpacks for people experiencing homelessness. It’s hands-on, straightforward, and the result is easy to see.
The format keeps everyone moving. Teams tackle tablet-based tasks, some can be photo or video challenges, and each successful round unlocks more of the items they need. Those items usually include practical essentials such as toiletries, non-perishable food and other useful bits that make a backpack worth having.
Once the challenge section wraps up, the packing starts. Teams sort the items, build the backpacks and get everything ready for donation. That final moment matters. People can see exactly what their effort has produced, which gives the whole session a bit more weight than a standard team game.
It’s a good fit if you’ve got mixed personalities in the room. The challenges ask people to think, talk, plan and make decisions together, but nobody needs to be especially sporty or outgoing to join in. It’s built around your team, not their fitness level, and it gives quieter people a way in as well.
The atmosphere is upbeat without getting silly for the sake of it. There’s a bit of competition, a bit of problem-solving, and a shared purpose running through the whole thing. Teams usually get behind it quickly because they can see the link between the activity and the backpacks they’re filling.
This is especially useful for company away days, winter CSR sessions, staff recognition events and any time you want to do something that feels grounded and useful. It also works nicely for bigger groups, since the format can scale without losing the sense that everyone’s contributing.
We’ll provide the facilitation, the tablets, the challenge structure and everything needed for the pack-out. If you’re planning the event, that means less juggling on your side and fewer moving parts to worry about. What we quote is what you pay, and we’ll tell you straight away if the event isn’t a good match for your group or venue.
If you want a charity event with a proper end result, this is a solid shout. Your team gets a shared task, your comms team gets a story people can understand in one line, and the charity partner gets backpacks that are ready to go.
