Operation BigBookBag is a program designed to address the needs, challenges, and should issues that school-aged children face who are educationally at-risk and in local homeless shelters and extended-care hospitals and facilities.
​
Through Operation BigBookBag, chapters and members collect and donate educational materials, equipment, and school supplies.
​
Our Goals:
To provide quick and easy access to reference materials and other studying aids and tools that will help students with educational endeavors.
To equip students with the means of completing their homework assignments in efforts to keep them current and up to date
To assist shelters, youth centers, schools and hospitals in their efforts to meet some needs of the educational needs of children and young adults housed at their facilities.
The program has expanded in recent years to refocus on tutoring support and mentoring programs.
