The USO is pleased to support the West Point military community during our annual Rucksacks to Backpacks distribution event. Registration is mandatory and limited to the first 120 children. Children must be going into K through Eighth Grade to receive a backpack. You must have a registration for each child, under the parent’s name!
Children do not need to be present for service members to pick up backpacks but would love for them to come! Open to children of Active Duty, National Guard and Reserve members.
SPECIAL NOTE All registrations must be in the name of the parent or service member, and you need a registration for each child. Do not enter a child’s name on the registration form. If you are unable to pick up from the event. Please let Janet Morse (jmorse@uso.org) know ASAP and we will hold the backpack(s). If we do not hear from you during the event, the backpack will be forfeited.
