Over 61.5% of HEB ISD students come from economically disadvantaged homes. Operation Back 2 School equips these students with new backpacks and essential school supplies—and connects their families to resources that support them year-round. You can make a direct impact: $40 helps one student start the year with confidence. $800 adopts an entire classroom.
Volunteer registration is now open—join us in Sharing Hope with students and families in our community.
Operation Back 2 School was a day filled with hope and generosity.
