READY, SET, SUCCEED!
Help a Child Start School With Confidence – Sponsor a Backpack Full of School Supplies
Back to school should be an exciting time for children and their families. But for many across the GTA, the increased cost of living has made this time of year unaffordable.This year, our back to school program is giving students and their families a helping hand. With your support, we aim to help 3,000 kids walk into school feeling confident, equipped, and ready for the year ahead.
When you sponsor a backpack filled with essential school supplies like pencils, notebooks, scissors, and more, you are making sure that these students are not left behind. We’re also providing free grooming services and a pair of brand new shoes for those that need it the most and a day of celebration where children can feel proud as they gear up for the classroom.

WHY IT MATTERS
No child should feel like a burden. For youth in underserved communities, showing up to class without the basics can mean embarrassment, stress, and feeling left behind. Your gift does more than fill a bag. It lifts the weight off families’ shoulders and helps build self esteem for kids who deserve to thrive and focus on learning.
