BVA helped local kids kick off the school year on the right foot this year.

The Houston office participated in YMCA Operation Backpack to help provide students in the local communities with school supplies. The team packed both fun and necessary items into backpacks and filled a dedicated YMCA collection bin. Without YMCA Operation Backpack, more than half of students in the Houston community would start the year without the supplies that they need to succeed. Click here to read about the positive impact this program has had in Houston families' lives and click here to get involved today.

The Dallas office celebrated at Rainbow Days, a back-to-school party where school-age children received backpacks filled with new grade-appropriate school supplies and uniforms. BVA volunteers acted as bus ambassadors, greeting families as they arrived at the event, assisting them with filling out order forms, and assisting with loading supplies on buses as the event came to an end.
