Backpack and School Supplies Distribution

We cordially invite volunteers to our next Back-to-School Brigade event on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at Texas A&M University-Central Texas, Founders Hall, 1001 Leadership Place, Killeen, TX 76549. Doors open for volunteers at 9:00 AM, and the event culminates at 1:00 PM CST.

The Back-to-School Brigade is an annual nationwide campaign by Operation Homefront that collects and distributes school supplies to eligible dependents of service members. Military children receive free back-to-school supplies, including backpacks, through this assistance program to help them start the new school year on the right foot.

This program is a crucial resource for military families facing financial hardship or other challenges as they navigate the back-to-school season. The high-quality backpacks we provide through the program ensure children have a durable and reliable backpack to carry their supplies. The program also includes a range of other school supplies, such as pencils, paper, and other essential items, to help children succeed in the classroom.
