Operation Backpack 2013

At Center For Family Services, we are committed to helping children and families to succeed at home and in the classroom. The goal of our annual Operation Backpack campaign is to ensure children in need across southern New Jersey are prepared to start off the school year equipped with the tools for educational success. This year’s campaign will run from July 15th through August 16th and there are many ways that an individual or business can participate.

  • Collect new backpacks and school supplies at your business or organization as a drop-off site
  • Volunteer to help sort and distribute donations to children and families in our area
  • Visit centerffs.org/get-involved/campaigns/operation-backpack to donate

It is our hope that through your support of Operation Backpack, the lives of the children we serve will be enriched so they can start the school year off confident and prepared.
