Operation Backpack is a very important cause benefiting New York City Kids. Needy school children form all of the five NYC boroughs will all receive one free backpack containing many types of basic and advanced school supplies, including scientific calculators. The objective of the Operation is to fulfill the needs of all eleven thousand kids in the school system. This year the organizers expect to come close; nine thousand backpacks will be distributed , an enoromous jump from last year when only five housand packs were donated.
It was a real thrill for me to be able to photograph this event and meet a group of warm hearted organizers, including Beth Paige and volunteer kids here at the top of this post.
