Distressing new data shows 1 in 7 NYC public school students faced homelessness last year.
With help from #OperationBackpackNYC, every student in NYC shelter started school ready to learn—but supplies are just a start. Our next Mayor must prioritize ending child homelessness.
🆕 For the tenth year in a row, more than 100K @NYCSchools students experienced homelessness during the last school year—with the number topping 150K students for the first time. https://t.co/ryj2OlwmwX
McGraw Hill and NYSE partner with Volunteers of America on its Operation Backpack program in NYC by donating school supply-filled backpacks, to support young learners across the city in need this back-to-school season. 🎒 #OperationBackpackNYC

WPC NY employees spent the day with @VOAgny sorting school supplies into backpacks to support children in need through #OperationBackpackNYC! In total, we filled over 150 backpacks which will be sent to shelters in Staten Island and the Bronx. #DoingGoodWhileDoingWell
#OperationBackpackNYC is back!
Family homelessness in New York City is increasing rapidly. 23,000 students experiencing homelessness will need backpacks and school supplies this year—53% more than last year.
Let's meet record need with record generosity: https://t.co/xP2v4h7Fxo
Roughly 104,000 children were without a stable home during the 2021-2022 school year – a 3% increase from last year. Homelessness can detrimentally impact a child's education, making programs like #OperationBackpackNYC more critical than ever.

Proud to be joined by @DianaAyalaNYC today, distributing backpacks and school supplies through #OperationBackpackNYC to students experiencing #homelessness in the #Bronx. If preparation is the key to success, then having critical classroom tools can make all the difference!

It's the 1st day of school for students at @NYCSchools, including many of the children who benefit from #OperationBackpackNYC! Thank you to our corporate partners who wrote these colorful & encouraging good luck notes for the students to find when they open their backpacks!

The 1st day of NYC public school is next week! Thanks to #OperationBackpackNYC, students living in #homeless shelters—not just VOA-GNY's, but 200+ across NYC including those run by @salvationarmy, @HELPUSA & @HenryStreet will start the year off with every school supply they need.
Want to help NYC #students experiencing #homelessness feel prepared and excited when they head back to school in a couple of weeks? You can! Now through 9/14, make a donation to #OperationBackpackNYC at any @DuaneReade and @Walgreens store when you check out at the register.
As the final backpacks & school supply kits are picked up, on their way to children in need, we want to recognize the #volunteers who help make it all possible incl. those from @OscarHealth, Select Equity Group and Cerberus! #OperationBackpackNYC #backtoschool #homelessness
#Teamwork makes the #dreamwork! Thank you to this year’s #OperationBackpackNYC interns Harper & Queentera and all VOA-GNY staff who have taken time out of their work day to #volunteer – including Victor, our new AVP of HR! To those who aren’t pictured, we appreciate you too. ❤
EVERY ✏️ SINGLE 🎒 ONE ✂️ of these school supply kits = a student living in shelter in NYC. 15,000 in all! With your support, we're ensuring these children have the tools they need to succeed in school + there's still time to help: https://t.co/eKwJc9XyFC
