VOA of Illinois Operation Backpack

Chuhak & Tecson employees are proud to be a 2025 participant in VOA Illinois’ Operation Backpack, raising over $2,200 this summer in backpacks and school supplies!

Operation Backpack is an annual drive hosted by VOA Illinois (Volunteers of America) 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 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.

Since 1896, VOA Illinois 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.

Each year, we feel honored to support Operation Backpack, and we thank VOA Illinois for its continued dedication to our communities.
