A Touch of Terra care pack and blue backpack laid out, with a high school beyond the window.

In honor of Terra Boone

A movement, carried
one backpack at a time.

Touch of Terra turns one mother's quiet kindness into a movement led by the next generation.

Chapter 01 · Her kindness

It began with a backpack in the back seat.

Terra Boone kept supply-filled backpacks in her car, ready to hand to anyone she met who was going without. Touch of Terra carries that instinct forward.

Chapter 02 · The backpack

What one backpack can carry.

The Touch of Terra Blue backpack is more than supplies. It is dignity, warmth, and the reminder that someone noticed and cared.

Chapter 03 · The next generation

Now students lead the way.

High schoolers partner with two local organizations each year, planning and running the events themselves, learning what it takes to serve a community.

Chapter 04 · The impact

Kindness, multiplied.

Every event, every backpack, every student who steps up carries Terra's kindness a little further into the world.

Terra Boone, whose kindness began it all.

Every backpack carries a piece of her kindness back into the world.

In loving memory of Terra Boone
