Dollar Tree Stores Launch for Back-To-School Brigade™ to Benefit Military Children
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – July 22, 2015 (Gephardt Daily) – Operation Homefront and Dollar Tree, Inc. have joined forces again this year to gather school supplies for military children across the country. The supplies can be purchased starting today by customers at Dollar Tree locations in the Salt Lake City area as well as the more than 5,000 Dollar Tree and Deals stores nationwide and placed in collection boxes in each store.
The Back-to-School Brigade™ program is a nationwide campaign by Operation Homefront and Dollar Tree. This is the seventh year that Dollar Tree has partnered with Operation Homefront for the program. Last year, Dollar Tree patrons donated more than $5 million of supplies.
“The school supplies donated by Dollar Tree customers are an essential part of our family support program to help prepare military kids for the school year,” said Jack Chirrick, Operation Regional Director. “Our terrific partnership with Dollar Tree – now in our seventh year – really helps ease the financial burden that the back-to-school season can bring.”
“Dollar Tree is a proud, national sponsor of Back-to-School Brigade™,” said Chelle Davis, Dollar Tree spokesperson. “We are honored to once again partner with Operation Homefront and thank our customers for their continued generosity and support.”
To contribute to Operation Homefront’s Back-to-School Brigade™ visit any Dollar Tree location including those on North Redwood Road, South Highland Drive, South 500 West, or South 4000 West.
Dollar Tree stores will collect supplies through August 13. Once the collection period concludes, Operation Homefront will distribute the supplies to military children during the back-to-school season in August and September.
