Operation Backpack Is Back for 2025

Help local kids start the school year strong!

Now through August 8th, Furniture Fair is proud to once again partner with Volunteers of America to help local students get the school supplies they need to succeed.

Thanks to your generosity, last year’s drive collected four times more supplies than the year before. See the full recap here.

How You Can Help

Drop off new school supplies at any Furniture Fair location in Cincinnati, Dayton, Northern Kentucky, Louisville, or Southern Indiana. Everything collected will go directly to kids through our friends at The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Cincinnati and other local organizations.
