President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama joined hundreds of Congressional family members, Feeding America and four additional national nonprofit organizations at Ft. McNair in Washington DC to prepare 15,000 backpacks with books, healthy snacks, Frisbees and other items for the children of servicemen and women.
The event was part of “United We Serve,” President Obama's call to Americans to engage in service projects and create meaningful impact in their towns and communities. The initiative was led by the Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency dedicated to fostering service in communities across the country.
