SIGN UP For the past 20 years, BAPS Charities has inspired people of all ages across the country to come together to support great national and local causes. Millions of miles have been walked through the years in the Spirit of Service.
The global pandemic created an even greater abundance of need throughout our community, and BAPS Charities along with their volunteers, were quick to respond. BAPS Charities worked with medical experts, community leaders, businesses, and families to reduce the impact of Covid-19 on our communities.

• Distribute over 175,000+ PPE
• Deliver over 90,000 meals, food, and care packages
• Donate over $190,000 to healthcare systems and other community support organizations
• Support breast cancer awareness through Susan G. Komen with a $25,000 donation
