Children have enough to think about on the first day of school.

Most of us remember the big things about starting a new school year. A new teacher. A new classroom. Wondering who would be in our class.

Children shouldn't also have to worry about being the only one without a backpack or the supplies on their school supply list.

That's why we collect new backpacks and school supplies each summer through Operation Backpack. Every backpack we fill helps a child start the school year with what they need from the very first day.

Your gift helps children start the school year with what they need. Each $25 you give equips one child with a backpack and the supplies on their school supply list.

Every dollar you give goes directly to Operation Backpack, providing backpacks and school supplies for children before the school year begins.
