Operation Backpack® and How it Helps Families Featured in Bronx Times
In this Bronx Times article, Ericia Antoine, VOA-GNY's Director of Corporate Engagement, speaks to the need for programs like Operation Backpack®.
“It’s impossible to have a successful school year if you don’t have what you need in order to thrive in the classroom,” said Antoine. “When kids don’t have the supplies that they need, they can’t complete their homework, they can’t participate in class and ultimately that’s gonna affect their ability to graduate high school.”
