The Greater Sacramento-area community has done it again! Thanks to the support of the many individuals, groups and companies who made Operation Backpack a priority this year, Volunteers of America Greater Sacramento & Northern Nevada has exceeded its record-breaking 2009 total. As of Aug. 9, more than 4,000 backpacks have been donated.

Special thanks to our 2010 Operation Backpack sponsors: Tri Counties Bank, KCRA 3, PG&E, Sacramento River Cats, and Thunder Valley Casino Resort. Thanks also to Starbucks, for providing more than 100 drop-off locations.

More about Operation Backpack

While Operation Backpack began as a drive to collect backpacks and school supplies for the children of Volunteers of America clients, it has since expanded to provide not only for the children of our homeless shelters and transitional living programs, but for youth served by many of our fellow social-service agencies, as well as school districts, throughout the Greater Sacramento area. Such beneficiaries as the Sacramento Food Bank and Wind Youth Center joined us in 2009 for "Pick a Pack Day," the kick-off to our distribution process.
