NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Back to school is fast approaching and a new backpack full of school supplies truly can have a profound impact on a child’s learning experience.
Youth Villages is helping to make that happen with their Backpack Heroes campaign. It kicks off today and runs through July 30th.
There are three ways you can support. You can donate directly, drop off items at their office, or order the items online and have them delivered to the office. The address is 301 Plus Park Blvd, Suite 411.
The site will open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. To 4 p.m. by appointment. Click here to learn more about making appointments, to see the wish list, or get in touch with a representative.
Youth Villages has helped to place new backpacks on the backs of thousands of children and teenagers across the country. They say you they’re counting on heroes like you.

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
