Through Breakfast With Santa Foundation’s Backpacks 4 Kids Program students from financially stressed families are able to receive the tools necessary to participate in the daily classroom work.

We work with schools in the Mississauga and Brampton areas who identify the children who will benefit from this program. Backpacks are delivered to the schools we work with and distributed in a discrete and respectful manner by their staff.

If your family is in need of assistance with backpacks, please contact your school principal or social worker for help.
