Thank you for making Operation Backpack a success!
Your generous support has made a significant impact on the lives of students in Detroit. Thanks to your contributions and the support of our sponsors, students can start the school year with the confidence and tools they need to succeed.
Thank you for your generous support of our program. Your contributions have provided essential school supplies—like pencils, notebooks, and backpacks—to students in need. With these supplies, students are better equipped to participate in classroom activities and confidently complete their assignments. When children have the necessary tools for learning, they can focus on their education instead of worrying about what they lack, reducing stress and anxiety while fostering a sense of belonging and self-esteem.
In this video, hear about this program’s significant impact and the value it brings to our students and their families. Together, we are nurturing a brighter future for our community.
