Help underserved children start the 2025-2026 school year off right.

Every year, The Salvation Army 7 Can Help Kids Back to School Backpack Program provides thousands of children in need with backpacks and school supplies — to help them go back to school with confidence. Since its inception in 1998, more than 240,000 backpacks have been given away thanks to this program. Your donation will provide young students all over the Omaha metro area with the help they need to start the new school year ready to learn.
