What a fantastic way to spend the weekend! On August 26, 2023, our CEO and selected teammates participated in the Back-to-School Brigade event hosted by Operation Homefront at Texas A&M University-Central Texas. We aimed to serve 239 military family members to help them ease the burden of paying for school supplies, and guess what? Our CEO worked with us while wearing his Zelinksky shirt from Ukraine!
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. Military children receive free back-to-school supplies, including backpacks, through this assistance program to help them start the new school year on the right foot. The program has been successful since its inception, with Operation Homefront distributing over 500,000 backpacks to military children, saving military families nearly $55M in school expenses. This program is a crucial resource for military families facing financial hardship or other challenges as they navigate the back-to-school season.
Huge thanks and shout-out to American Veterans Mission, Girl Scouts of Central Texas Troops #20301 & #6300, and Texas A&M University-Central Texas for providing a safe venue to work together to serve our military communities. Special thanks to Ms. Tetyana Quiles Poboyko for our CEO’s #Zelinsky shirt from #ukraine, Mrs. Janie Ann Freed for leading her troops, and Mr. Brennan Avants for ensuring we had what we needed to make this Killeen program successful. Together, everyone achieves more!
