Friend,
Some children are counting down the hours to the first bell. Others feel the
weight of what they don’t have.
All summer long, **Operation Backpack®** has been building toward this moment.
And thanks to friends who already stepped up with support, we've gotten many
kids prepared for their first day of school—but there are still many more
children to reach.

**Your response can fill a backpack…** keep the lights on at home…free up a
parent to help with homework instead of worrying about the rent…and yes, put
brand-new pencils, notebooks and crayons into an eager young learner’s hands.
**Kindness like yours replaces fear with the steady rhythm of a safe,
supported life.**
It means so much knowing you’re part of this effort to lift up students
first—and, in doing so, also help the parents, seniors and neighbors who count
on us.
With gratitude,
---
