The overwhelming transition to new communities, new careers, and new schools, compounded by the impact of inflation and tightening budgets, takes a huge toll on military families. For many of our nation's military families, summer is a time of uncertainty as they frequently relocate from one duty station to the next, on top of the other stresses of military life. During this year's campaign, Operation Homefront will distribute its 500,000th backpack, saving families over $55 million in back-to-school expenses since the program began in 2008.Īs part of Operation Homefront's mission to build strong, stable, and secure military families, our nationwide Back-to-School Brigade® program is supported by CSX, through their Pride in Service community investment initiative, and offers a tangible way to express gratitude to military families for their service on behalf of all Americans.
