Review Gift

One of the most devastating consequences of family homelessness is the impact it has on a child’s education. For children who are homeless, the start of the school year is especially stressful if they don't have the school supplies their housed classmates have on the first day of school. Since it began more than ten years ago, Operation Backpack has outfitted more than 80,000 boys and girls with new, full, grade-specific backpacks in time for the start of the school year.
