Students at Merryhill Preschool in Roseville Donate 50 Backpacks

Students at Merryhill Preschool in Roseville recently donated 50 backpacks to Volunteers of America’s Operation Backpack program, which benefits homeless children in need. Throughout July, students collected backpacks for children supported by the organization to help prepare them for the new school year. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of spreading kindness in their community.

Volunteers of America is a nonprofit organization with hundreds of human service programs to help those in need reach their full potential. The organization’s Operation Backpack program connects children in need with a new backpack filled with grade-specific school supplies.
