Operation Big Book Bag is a program designed to address the needs, challenges and issues that face school-aged children who are educationally at-risk, in financially challenged households, in local homeless shelters and extended-care hospitals and facilities. Through this program, chapters and members collect and donate educational materials, equipment and school supplies where ever there is a need.

Epsilon Kappa Sigma Chapter, The Urban League of SW  Ohio and in coordination with the Soror Essence Jackson and  Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Dayton , Ohio was able to donate bookbags to students in need. Bookbags were received by student representatives Simeon Akins and Johnnea Coleman.
