Johnny Rockets – We are in association with Volunteers of America, a collection point for "Operation Backpack". Their mission is to help homeless children get the necessary items to go back to school.

Getting an education stands as the number one problem affecting homeless children, but our community can band together to provide the supplies they need to get an education every child deserves.
