Give kids the confidence they need to start the school year!
It’s that time of year again! Time to kick off this year’s Operation Backpack®, a program that gives local area children in need a new backpack and school supplies to start the school year. By lending your support, you’re doing more than donating supplies — you’re giving hope to families facing tough times and showing children that their community believes in them.
Let’s come together to empower young minds and make a lasting impact, one backpack at a time.
