An Orlando area school was surprised with backpacks, furniture, and more. It was all thanks to a partnership between Vera Bradley and the nonprofit organization Blessings in a Backpack.

Students and staff were surprised at Palmetto Elementary School, as they received backpacks for all students, special furniture and more.

A $100,000 check was also given to Blessings in a Backpack from Vera Bradley. A $5,000 check was presented to the Orlando Chapter.
