Every child wants to fit in at school, but showing up the first day without the basic supplies required for their grade makes that struggle even more difficult. Volunteers of America's Operation Backpack provides school supplies and backpacks to thousands of homeless children in need across the country. Make a donation today that can fill a backpack for a needy child in your community.
Your gift will not only fill the backpack with such necessities as a notebook and pencils, but it will provide hope and inspiration for those boys and girls who find everything about school a struggle. It’s estimated to cost $24.98 to fill one backpack for a 4th grader with the basic supplies needed this school year, a cost many struggling families simply can’t afford.
Volunteers of America provides these children a chance to succeed in life. Many of them are homeless, living in foster care, or come from families that are barely managing to keep body and soul together in these difficult times.
When you provide a deserving child with school supplies and help fund a Volunteers of America-sponsored after school and mentoring program, you give them a chance to go back to school like every other kid and a chance to succeed in life.
Please consider helping to make a difference in the lives of kids who need a little help!
