Saturday Study: OPERATION BACKPACK / Give Back. Give a Pack!

Too many children are facing the new school year with no backpack, notebook, pencils — basic supplies they need for school! That makes staying on track difficult for any young student, and especially one who might already be struggling.

$81 is the average cost to buy a backpack with school supplies for a kid-in-need. Since 2001 The Volunteers of America Charity http://www.voa.org 

has distributed bags to homeless children in grades K - 12 across the country with Operation Backpack Campaign. Bags and backpacks containing up 24 items (flash drives, calculators, geometry kits, dictionaries) that can help students perform better. 

School is in session but you can still contribute:

Donate to Operation Backpack 2015 to fill a backpack, fund after-school and mentoring programs, or provide other vital services that struggling men, women, and children need.

Every school year should start filled with a backpack. Show a child that someone believes in them. Give a child a real chance to succeed!
