Friday 6am-6pm at Participating Local Area YMCAs

Hurricane Harvey impacted countless Houston homes, and all felt its affects. This includes many students who were left without the supplies they need to start the school year. YMCA are committed to helping these kids make the grade. We want to ensure that their families can rest easy knowing their children have the proper tools for school! In this spirit, we are launching the YMCA Operation Backpack 2.0! Please drop off new backpacks and school supplies to your local YMCA or donate direct to the cause!

Or text the word SCHOOL to 91999 to donate!
