Help Students Start Strong: 2026 Backpack & School Supplies Drive
Every new school year brings a fresh start, but not every student starts from the same place.
The Backpack and School Supplies Drive is about more than just backpacks. It’s about removing barriers to learning before they begin. When students have the right supplies from day one, they can focus, engage, and feel a true sense of belonging alongside their peers.
With the ongoing pressure of rising living costs in Toronto, many families are making difficult choices. School supplies can quickly become an added strain. Your support helps bridge that gap and ensures students can step into the classroom ready to learn.
What your support can do:
- $30 helps provide a student with a backpack
- $50 equips a backpack with essential supplies
Ways to give:
By coming together, we can create a stronger start to the school year for every student.
Campaign timeline: June 1 – September 30, 2026. All funds and donated items go directly to supporting students. Please note: Only new items can be accepted due to health, safety, and storage considerations.
