Operation Backpack!

For those of us who have been out of school for awhile, we tend to forget how important the basic school essentials are for kids these days. So when we were approached recently by Volunteers of America for Operation Backpack, we had some learning to do of our own. Operation Backpack is an annual back-to-school community drive that provides much-needed new backpacks and school supplies to help homeless boys and girls reach their full academic potential.

Today we headed down to Operation Backpack's local drop-off location, where our Hi-Tec crew generously donated 40 backpacks to the cause. Prior to the delivery, our employees heard the news of this opportunity to help. We're proud to note that our own employees purchased an additional 23 backpacks from the retail store, bringing our Hi-Tec donation for Operation Backpack to 63 backpacks!

This great charity helps out our youth all across the nation. To learn how you can contribute, visit Volunteers of America today.
