Impact

Grad Bag has come a long way from the 30 students outfitted for college in 2012. Since then, we have provided dorm room essentials for more than 5,500 students and diverted nearly 170 tons of materials from the waste stream. We are excitedly preparing for our 2025 collection and distribution season and will outfit students up and down the East Coast.
