AAA Backpack Program

Since 2022, AAA Central Penn and Partner Organizations Fill Backpacks for Local Children in Need

AAA Central Penn wants to make sure that local children have what they need to be successful. That's why AAA, through its AAA Cares community volunteer program, has partnered with a dozen other Central Pennsylvania organizations for its second annual AAA Cares Backpack Program. The program has provided over 1,800 backpacks filled with school supplies to children in all nine counties that AAA Central Penn serves including Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Huntingdon, Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Mifflin, and Perry.

Thanks to the support of AAA Central Penn and its 12 partners, students are not only received backpacks this year, but also a three-ring binder, folders, journals, pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, rulers, Post-it Notes, tablets, and tissues. With caregivers expected to spend $661 per child in grades K-12 on back-to-school supplies, according to USA Today, every bit of support for children in need can help. Assembly lines are setup in AAA offices for team members to come together and support the program.

In 2023, Donegal Insurance was the backpack sponsor of the Backpack program. Major school supply sponsors were LeTort Trust and PRworks. School supply sponsors were Central Penn Wealth Advisors, McConkey Insurance and Benefits, AAA Financial Services, Club Assist, URL Insurance Group, AAA Insurance, Joe May's Garage, Vitro Glass, Harrisburg International Airport, Amsterdam Printing, and Hershey Entertainment & Resorts.
