Dear Friend,
A third-grader walked into his school this year glowing with confidence and a
backpack full of new school supplies. **Because of you.**
A middle schooler felt ready to learn and on equal footing with her
classmates, now that she has her own backpack. **Because of you.**
_**[_**WATCH NOW: OPERATION BACKPACK STUDENTS SAY THANK
YOU**_]([link removed])**_
Through programs like VOA Operation Backpack®, you’re giving struggling
families exactly what they need to start the school year off on a high note.
Supplies, backpacks, uniforms, meals, and more help kids feel strong. And like
they belong. And that their futures matter.
**Thanks again for being such a wonderful neighbor to families in need,** this
school season and always.
_And special thanks to our Chesapeake and Carolinas affiliate for bringing
local students together for this heartwarming video!
_
Best to you!
