Each year many children go back to school without the basic supplies they need to succeed. Families shouldn't have to choose between school supplies, food or paying bills.

When a family is living paycheck to paycheck, children learn to make do with what they have even if that means returning to school without the supplies they need to succeed.

Every backpack given to a child through Operation Fill-a-Backpack is filled with brand new school supplies according to the child's grade, so that these children look and feel just like their classmates.

But it's not just about paper, pens or binders -- it's about giving the gift of opportunity in school and life that many will not receive otherwise.
