Operation Backpack is our initiative to fill in the gap for our regions most vulnerable children. From now through August 29, 2022, your donations will help us provide backpacks, school supplies and funding for academic enrichment to more than 2,500 homeless and underprivileged children in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia. Together, we can help ensure these children achieve success despite their circumstances.

This Year We've Added the Need for School Uniforms & Funds for Summer Camp to

Our Campaign!

There are many low-income families who lack the resources to provide their children school uniforms. Offering children academic enrichment opportunities during the summer can also be a challenge. So in addition to backpacks and school supplies, we're appealing to the community for donations to purchase fresh uniforms and send kids to summer camp.

Last year, we raised $37,000 and provided 2,000 students backpacks, supplies and laptops!

Our 2022 Operation Backpack goal is to raise $40,000 to support even more kids in need.

Supplies will be provided to students from low-income families in our programs as well as partnering Title 1 schools in the DMV area.
