60.72% of HEB ISD students come from homes that are economically disadvantaged. Operation Back 2 School provides these students with a new backpack and school supplies while connecting their parents with resources that help them all year long.
You can help a student start the year off right for just $40. You can also “adopt” a whole classroom for $800.
Operation Back 2 School was a day filled with hope and generosity. Thanks to the incredible support of 715 volunteers, we were able to provide 3,001 students in our community with the school supplies they need to start the year off right.
