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.
Through this assistance program, military children receive free back-to-school supplies, including backpacks, to help them start the new school year on the right foot. The Back-to-School Brigade program has been a tremendous success since its inception, with Operation Homefront distributing over 550,000 backpacks to military children. This program is a crucial resource for military families who may face financial hardship or other challenges as they navigate the back-to-school season. The backpacks provided through the program are of high quality, ensuring that 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.
