Operation Backpack® Thanks You

The gift you just made has real impact.

One of the most devastating consequences of family homelessness is the impact it has on a child’s education. The stigma of being homeless weighs heavily on these children in their school and peer groups. When they arrive at school without a backpack or proper supplies, they are seen by others as different rather than as a potential new friend.

Your donation is critical to changing the lives of our most vulnerable students across the state.

You are the reason their lives are changing.

There remains a lot of work to do, of course, but please: Take a minute to savor this moment. Be encouraged by what you got done. It is real, and it is meaningful.

Operation Backpack® would not be here without you.
