Backpack Heroes make the News!
Youth Villages offices across the nation have been busy collecting school supplies and making the news for our annual Backpack Heroes campaign!
A new backpack full of essentials for the year can have a profound impact on a child’s learning experience, but purchasing essential back-to-school supplies can be a heavy financial burden for many families and young people. The Youth Villages Backpack Heroes campaign provides backpacks, school supplies and other essentials to students from pre-K through higher education who are in our community-based programs.
Thanks to all these local news stations for helping us get the word out!
You can still ensure every child in Youth Villages programs has what they need to start the school year by making a monetary donation online: youthvillages.org/backpacks.
