Operation Backpack®
Give back! Give a pack!


At the end of every summer, children in your community are beginning their race toward educational success…
A full mile away from the starting line.
When a family is living paycheck to paycheck, children learn to make do with what they have-- even if that means returning to school without the supplies they need to succeed.
But this year won’t be that way. Because this year there’s you… and Operation Backpack®.
Operation Backpack® connects children in need with a new backpack filled with grade-specific school supplies.
But it’s not just about paper, pens, or binders-- it’s about giving the gift of opportunity in school and life that many children will not receive otherwise.
Your donation to Operation Backpack isn’t a gift-- it’s a game changer.
