Friend, when
parents can’t afford food on the table, school supplies don’t make the list.
VOA is there to help, but **we need more friends now for our signature
Operation Backpack® program and others helping kids get a fair chance.**
The truth is, [**Operation Backpack owes its success to
you**]([link removed]).
If you help now, the difference you can make will be lasting! Thank you again!

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.
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. **

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!
