You are cordially invited to join us at our next Operation Homefront Back-to-School Brigade event on Saturday, July 20, 2024, at Texas A&M University-Central Texas, Founders Hall, 1001 Leadership Place, Killeen, TX 76549. Doors open for volunteers at 7:00 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. The Back-to-School Brigade program has been a tremendous success since its inception. Operation Homefront distributed over 580,000 backpacks to military children nationwide, saving military families nearly $60M in school expenses.

This program is a crucial resource for military families facing financial hardship or other challenges as they navigate the back-to-school season. The backpacks provided through the program are of high quality, ensuring 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.

Operation Homefront aims to build strong, stable, and secure military families. Through our Back-to-School Brigade, we can help military children have the resources to succeed while easing their parents’ financial burdens. It is a great way to show gratitude to these courageous families who served our nation.

School supply shopping is the second biggest spending event of the year for military parents, and it comes during an already potentially costly season for families. Summer is the typical season for military families to move to new duty stations, and each relocation can require them to spend thousands out of pocket to cover unreimbursed expenses. The Back-to-School program aims to ease some financial burdens while offering military families a chance to meet others from the local civilian and military communities, thus helping foster an essential sense of belonging.

This year, locally in Killeen, community members, and associations join Operation Homefront to serve our deserving military families. Local participants this year are the Texas A&M University-Central Texas (TAMUCT), American Veterans Mission (AVM), Broadridge, United Through Reading (UTR), Dollar Tree, Southern Hampshire University, Mountain View Productions, Bell County Comic Con, Lightdance Photography, Girls Scouts of Central Texas, and Rudy’s BBQ. We would love to have you as an addition to these wonderful participants at this event. Together, everyone achieves more!
