Operation Backpack 2026 Request Form

Welcome to the Operation Backpack and Backpacks 4 You at the Detroit Zoo 2026 request form!

A few important things to know before you apply:
- All backpacks must be picked up in person at our event at the Detroit Zoo on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
- Please also note that submitting this registration does not guarantee a backpack. Our supply depends on the generosity of our donors, and backpacks are provided as availability allows.
We will do everything we can to serve every family we can. Thank you for your understanding, and we can't wait to see you there!
