Operation Fill-A-Backpack

Accepting Donations Through August 13th

Every child deserves a great first day of school. Your donation can give a child the confidence needed to succeed! With your help we will purchase and distribute over 1,000 backpacks to children and teens in our programs.

Many parents of children in Oaks Integrated Care programs cannot afford new backpacks and basic school supplies. As families and students prepare for the upcoming school year, each small gift can help to ensure that they have enough supplies to be successful in learning.
