2026-2027 State Service Project

“Kits for Kindness”

Michigan Business Professionals of America is proud to launch its 2026-2027 State Service Project, Kits for Kindness, a statewide initiative focused on bringing smiles to people in our community. Together, our goal is to donate at least 500 care kits throughout the 2026–2027 school year, demonstrating the impact we can make when we serve together.

Service is an important part of being a member of Business Professionals of America. As future leaders and professionals, BPA members have a responsibility to give back to their communities and use their skills to make a positive difference. This year, BPA chapters across the state will have the opportunity to support local schools, hospitals, nursing homes, homeless shelters, food pantries, and other nonprofit organizations by creating and donating Kits for Kindness.

As part of this project, BPA members will collect essential items, assemble care kits, and distribute them to organizations serving their local communities. Chapters are encouraged to identify community needs, collaborate with local organizations, and engage members in meaningful service activities that directly benefit those around them. Michigan BPA’s goal is to create at least 500 Kits for Kindness during the school year. Click Chapter Participation Guide (provided below) to see our monthly kit themes!

After working together to create and deliver the care kits, chapters should complete the Service Confirmation Form (see below) to document their participation and help Michigan BPA track the initiative's statewide impact. We can’t wait to see your involvement!
