No Kid Should Go Back to School Empty-Handed
Every student deserves the chance to succeed—and that starts with having the right tools on the first day of school. You can make that possible.
Through Operation Backpack, your gift helps Volunteers of America provide school supplies to children from low-income and unhoused families—giving them the confidence, dignity, and support they need to thrive in the classroom.

Who We Are
Volunteers of America Western Washington was established in 1898, two years after Maud and Ballington Booth founded the national organization in New York. We respond to more than 300,000 requests for assistance each year through a partnership of professional staff, volunteers, and community supporters. Volunteers are instrumental in every aspect of our ministry of service and help us reach thousands more people than we could with staff alone.
We acknowledge, serve, and uplift each and every person. No matter your identity, citizenship, origin, color, or creed, you are welcome here. Our commitment is to serve those needing food, shelter, crisis care, free preschool, community resources, and so much more.
