Cody from Good Day Sacramento is at Kid's Care Dental & Orthodontics of Roseville for Operation Backpack and asking for backpacks and school supplies to support local kids in need.
Operation Backpack Homepage
Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2018 Operation Backpack® campaign! Your generosity has enabled us to help children living in shelters across Northern California & Northern Nevada feel more like their housed peers and less like a child in need on their first day of school.
Thanks to our Official Sponsors and other community partners, Operation Backpack® provided 9,000+ homeless children with a new backpack full of every grade-specific school supply they needed in time for the first day of school. This way, they started the year looking and feeling more like their housed classmates and less like a child in need

What is Operation Backpack?
Each year, thousands of homeless and at-risk children in our local communities return to school without the basic supplies they need.
With your help, Operation Backpack® is able to provide thousands of backpacks, grade specific school supplies, and a variety of support services to homeless, at-risk and foster children from Pre-school to High School levels throughout the Bay Area, Greater Sacramento Area, and Reno regions. Together, we are helping children learn and thrive in school, stay in school, and build a bright future.
Participate in Volunteers of America's Operation Backpack® and help children in need be prepared and excited for their first day of school!
