2014 Office Depot Foundation National Backpack Giveaway
Everyone knows the excitement of going back to school. We were all once children or are now parents and know that awesome feeling of getting new school supplies.
Most children look forward to the beginning of the new school year. But for those in families where money is tight, this can be a challenging time. That’s why as school is getting ready to begin around the country, the Office Depot Foundation is helping deserving children like these start school on the right foot.
In 2014, the Foundation is donating 350,000 sackpacks to children in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and a number of other countries through its National Backpack Program, which is now in its 14th year. By the end of this year, Office Depot and the Office Depot Foundation will have given away more than 3.3 million backpacks and sackpacks since the National Backpack Program began in 2001.
The specially designed sackpacks come in seven bright and colorful designs that are new for 2014. Each one includes a zippered pouch containing a pen, pencil, pencil sharpener, eraser, six-inch ruler and four crayons. The sackpacks do not have any Office Depot Foundation or Office Depot logos or markings.
I am so excited about this program. Just watching my children and remembering how exciting going back to school is, the thought of children not having things saddens me. Thanks to the Office Depot Foundation many children are able to feel that excitement we all know and remember and they are going to school in style. Did you see that sackpack? I really like it!
I like it so much, I am giving you an opportunity to win one of these specially designed sackpacks. Good luck!!!
