We cordially invite our Central Texas volunteers to our next Back-to-School Brigade event on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at Texas A&M University-Central Texas, Founders Hall, Bernie Beck Lecture Hall, 1001 Leadership Place, Killeen, TX 76549. Doors open for volunteers at 9:00 AM, and the event culminates at 1:00 PM CST.
The Back-to-School Brigade is an annual nationwide campaign by Operation Homefront (run by the American Veterans Mission locally) 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.
This program is a crucial resource for military families facing financial hardship or other challenges as they navigate the back-to-school season. The high-quality backpacks we provide through the program ensure children have a durable and reliable backpack to carry their supplies. The program also includes a range of other school supplies, such as pencils, paper, and other essential items, to help children succeed in the classroom.
