Our Backpack 4 Kids Campaign was another success!
Once again the generosity of so many was truly humbling and we now have 298 backpacks full of school supplies in quarantine before we distribute them to schools we work with.
Thank you to:
Feed Mississauga (‘Twas The Bite Before Christmas) for the very generous donation of $2,000 that allowed us to purchase 200 backpacks and school supplies.
Thank you to:
Avery Products Canada for the incredible donation of binders, duo-tangs, glue sticks, ultra tabs and highlighters enough to have filled 500 backpacks!
The products we have left over will be donated to the children of families registered with our “A Morning With Santa” this December.
Thank you to:
Raptors 905 and Melanie Danna as well as Genadyne Charr for their amazing support and donation of water bottles and string bags which we also packed with school supplies for the older kids.
