The Brigade Backpacks provided through the program are of high quality, ensuring that children have a durable and reliable backpack to carry their supplies. This program is a crucial resource for military families who may face financial hardship or other challenges as they navigate the back-to-school season. The Brigade Backpack program has been a tremendous success since its inception, with Operation Homefront distributing over 500,000 backpacks to military children, saving military families nearly $55M in school expenses. Through this assistance program, military children receive free back-to-school supplies, including backpacks, to help them start the new school year on the right foot.


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.
