Dear Friend,

Heading back to school is exciting and energizing for kids. But imagine
walking into class without a backpack or supplies. **Instead of feeling those
happy butterflies, your tummy’s tied up in knots.**

Many children are heading back to school this way. Their families love and
care for them, but can’t afford to buy them backpacks and school supplies.

**[You can help! Equip a child with a filled backpack and give them the tools
and confidence to start the school year off strong. Donate now to our
community programs like VOA’s annual Operation Backpack®
!]([link removed])**

**We received tough news recently.** Supportive funding for Operation Backpack
**®** was cut, _as much as 50%_ in some communities. But the reality is, MORE
kids need us now, as rising prices are making things extra tough for families
this year.

**[Kindness equals impact, for a child, a family and others. Donate
now.]([link removed])**

All kids deserve a solid head-start in school. And success in learning, as
with anything, is tied to having the RIGHT TOOLS. With your help, we can fill
that gap. We’ll fill a backpack with the supplies a child needs…to paint their
dreams, solve tough problems, and explore the world around them.

**You can be the reason a student smiles as they walk proudly through the
doors on their first day of school!** I hope you'll consider a gift today. **

My sincere thanks,

Tanisha Smith, Vice President
Volunteers of America

P.S. **For the price of a coffee** , every month you can lift up a student, or
a struggling mom or veteran in need. _[**This is the power of monthly
support,**]([link removed])_
ensuring that hope and opportunity are rock-solid ready, to change lives.

__[**__It's amazing how far a little can go when it’s given with
love.__**]([link removed])
Consider donating $10 or $20 each month. It could champion a child’s learning
for the school year, and into the future!
