Helping Kids in Need Succeed
Operation Backpack® is VOA’s initiative to fill in the gap for children experiencing homelessness, poverty, and otherwise underprivileged circumstances. Your donations will help us provide backpacks, school supplies, and funding for academic enrichment to unhoused and underprivileged children. Together, we can help ensure these children achieve success despite their circumstances.
In 2024, Volunteers of America distributed close to 45,000 backpacks. Thank you for giving second chances and brighter futures for the next generation.
A few young students want to thank you themselves! Watch this video from our team in D.C.
