D&A Services, LLC, a collection agency headquartered in Des Plaines, IL, continued its commitment to the community in 2025, with employees donating over 30 backpacks filled with much-needed school supplies to the “Communities That Care” Back-to-School program. 
“Very Proud of our Team. We are supporting “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! #Teachers #team #Family #givingbacktothecommunity”
– Greg Neely, Chief Operations Officer at D&A Services, LLC.
This Back-to-School initiative benefits underprivileged children in the Chicagoland area. The program partners with Communities That Care to collect backpacks filled with essential school supplies for low-income youth, ensuring they have the tools needed for academic success.
The process is simple: choose a Back-to-School tag with a supply list for a specific age group, purchase a new backpack, fill it with the listed items, and attach the tag to the front. It’s a meaningful way to make a child feel confident and prepared on that important first day of school.
Back 2 School Illinois (formerly The Illinois Currency Exchange Charitable Foundation) was established in 2010 by the Community Currency Exchange Association of Illinois (CCEA), representing more than 350 Currency Exchanges across the state. The organization’s roots go back even further, to the first free school supply distributions held years earlier.
While the Back 2 School program remains its primary focus, Back 2 School Illinois also runs other initiatives that align with its mission of supporting children’s education.
