VOA of Illinois Operation Backpack

Chuhak & Tecson is donating backpacks and school supplies for underprivileged children again this year!

Since 1896, Volunteers of America of Illinois (VOA) has been supporting individuals, families and communities and is committed to bringing real solutions and lasting change to those they serve, including a new beginning for individuals, families and veterans struggling with homelessness and instability, a bright future for children in foster care or struggling with poverty, and a better quality of life for the elderly and adults with disabilities.

Operation Backpack is an annual drive hosted by VOA of Illinois to collect backpacks and school supplies for the youth they serve, including children in foster care, children in families experiencing homelessness and children of the veterans served by VOA of Illinois. In addition to providing backpacks to the over 450 youth, they also host a back-to-school event open to all community members and partner with local schools, community organizations and churches to distribute to students in need.

Chuhak and Tecson employees are collecting backpacks and school supplies through July 11. We are all working towards another successful year!
