About The YMCA of Tuscalooa's Operation Backpack 

The YMCA of Tuscaloosa and Boys & Girls Club of West Alabama are partnering again this summer to provide school supplies for children in our community and we would like your help! The children you help through this project will be filled with hope, joy, and excitement as they start the school year. Your investment will provide these children with the opportunity to start school with the tools to be successful.
