Needed now more than ever, the New England Patriots announced that they will be assisting America’s youth and families from our United States military by donating a whopping 30,000 backpacks filled with goods for the upcoming school year. According to the team’s website, The New England Patriots Foundation, New England Revolution Charitable Foundation, the Massachusetts Military Support Foundation (MMSF) and Ocean State Job Lot are coordinating the campaign titled, Operation Backpack. "Military children often face moving multiple times and changing schools or having a parent deploy. We are proud to partner with the Patriots, Revolution, Operation Homefront and Dollar Tree Stores to provide military children with the basic tools needed to participate in school." Fifty years ago, they began their own mission of philanthropy and taught their children the importance and value of giving back.
