1 in 5 kids start school without the supplies they need. Without those items, it's hard to learn or even just fit in.
That's where Operation Backpack comes in. We fill backpacks with supplies and get them into the hands of kids who need them.
Here's the good news: a prefilled backpack costs less than $25. Just $25 to change a kid's school year. Just $25 to say "you matter."
We need hundreds more this summer. Will you help?

Donate. Purchase a backpack. Volunteer. Every bit helps.

For several years, Beach Municipal FCU has been a proud supporter of our local students through Operation Backpack, our annual fundraiser and supply drive dedicated to the Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) Back-to-School Care Fair. If you use our coin machines this quarter, you are helping our partnership. The nominal fee you pay to access our machines is matched by the credit union and both portions will be donated to this organization. Bring us your coins to count and your helping our VB kids! #CoinsforCommunity #OperationBackpack ow.ly/Ve5O30sUTGV

Operation Backpack brought big smiles as the new school year gets ready to kick off!
Led by Jennifer Heitshusen and Stacy Wills of LifeBridge Community Church, members “adopted” students and packed backpacks full of school supplies. The crew at Acme Brick joined in the fun, donating 10 stuffed backpacks of their own. Thanks to their kindness, local kids are starting the year ready to shine!

People are always asking me how they can help support the work I do & NOW is the PERFECT time to show up for my kids! We're launching #OperationBackpack to make sure ALL of the kids in the community have brand new backpacks & school supplies to set the new school year off right! So if God puts in on your heart to donate...we appreciate it! BUT I know that money is tight everywhere right now so if you can't donate, a RT is also good money for us! PLEASE come through to make sure my kids are on point like Tip & Phife when they start the school year!

I know you are very busy scrolling, I wont hold you for long...
Tomorrow is @Bandcamp Friday, and I am pledging to donate 100% of my sales and match them personally in support of Kil's Operation Backpack! 💯💯
@Kil889 is one of the most vocal supporters of hip hop on the planet, and he's an amazingly talented producer as well, but it's his leadership in the community, that inspires me every day. He truly is a man out here doing it right for these kids.
Please join me in supporting his efforts!
Thank you, and kindly consider clicking and donating before you continue scrolling...
