Free School Supplies and Backpacks for Military Children!

Operation Homefront is partnering up with Dollar Tree to launch the 2013 Back-to-School Brigade where school supplies and backpacks are donated to military children of Deployed, Wounded, and Active Duty Service Members of any rank along with Activated and Inactivated National Guard or Reserve Members.

These drives are starting up now and will run through the first week of August. Backpacks and supplies are available on a first come, first serve basis.  To find out if your closest Operation Homefront chapter has opened the registration process, check out the Operation Homefront Facebook page here (scroll down the Wall to see all open registration locations). Or if you prefer, you can call your local Field Office; states without a Field Office can call the National Program Manager at 210-659-7756. Note that not all locations have started the registration process so check back often if yours has not.
