Backpack Drive

Hundreds of Foster Children need your help to start their school year off just like their peers with a NEW Backpack and School Supplies. 

Foster A Dream is thrilled to continue our Back-to-School Backpack Program by being a part of Volunteers of America’s 1st Annual Operation Backpack Program in the Bay Area!Together, our goal is to provide filled backpacks to hundreds of foster youth in the Bay Area. The 2013 Operation Backpack Program runs July 8th to July 26th.

Year after year, YOU take up the charge and give children in our community the tools to help them achieve academic success.

Making a difference is as easy as 1-2-3.
