Back to School 2026
D&A Services employees donated more than 50 new backpacks filled with school supplies to the “Communities That Care” Back-to-School program.
D&A Services, LLC, a collection agency headquartered in Des Plaines, Illinois, continued its commitment to the community in 2026, with employees donating over 50 new backpacks filled with much-needed school supplies to the “Communities That Care” Back-to-School program – up from more than 30 backpacks in 2025.
The initiative benefits underprivileged children throughout the Chicagoland area. Employees choose a tag listing the supplies needed for a specific grade level, fill a new backpack with every item, and attach the tag to the front – a simple way to help a child feel confident and prepared on the first day of school.
“Very proud of our team. We are supporting the ‘Communities that Care’ Back-To-School program, providing underprivileged children with backpacks and school supplies. We want to thank you all for giving a child a fresh new start to the school year!”
– Greg Neely, Chief Operations Officer, D&A Services, LLC
