Most of the events will be delivered in a drive-through format, with volunteers following CDC guidelines. Like in 2020, this year’s Back-to-School Brigade® events will continue to adhere with federal, state, and local COVID-19 guidelines. This year, Operation Homefront will hit a major milestone by providing its 450,000th backpack to a military child, saving military families more than $50 million in back-to-school expenses since the program launched in 2008. “We look forward to the opportunity to work alongside Operation Homefront to provide support for military families who selflessly serve our country, so that they can start strong and stay strong this back-to-school season and beyond.” “Dollar Tree is thrilled to join our generous customers to partner with Operation Homefront for the 13th year to ease the back-to-school transition for military families,” said Chelle Davis, Dollar Tree spokesperson. The school supplies will be collected by Operation Homefront volunteers and distributed to military families at more than 130 Back-to-School Brigade® events and through local community partnerships across the U.S. The national nonprofit has partnered with Dollar Tree for more than a dozen years to collect school supplies and distribute them to military children.įrom mid-July through August, customer-purchased supplies at more than 7,600 participating Dollar Tree stores nationwide will be donated to Operation Homefront. CHESAPEAKE, Va.-( BUSINESS WIRE)-The annual Back-to-School Brigade® program from Operation Homefront returns to serve military families across the nation.
