🎒 You didn’t just fill backpacks. You filled first days with confidence ❤️
Our Back to School Campaign is officially wrapped, and we’re feeling incredibly grateful for everyone who made it possible.
Because of this incredible community, more than 1,000 local students are heading into the school year with backpacks, school supplies, snacks, and sneakers, ready to walk through those doors knowing someone is in their corner!
A special thank-you to Canadian Tire Financial, whose team donated countless volunteer hours and 464 pairs of sneakers to help local students start the year feeling confident and prepared. 👟
We’re also so grateful to After the Bell Canada Food Banks, who provided 1,000 healthy snack pouches, along with fresh oranges and apples for students to enjoy. 🍎🍊
And to all of our community partners, donors, volunteers, and neighbours who stepped up, shared our campaign, packed supplies, sorted donations, and helped make this possible: thank you.
This campaign truly took a community.
But when the first school bell rings, our work doesn’t stop. Families will still need groceries, kids will still need healthy lunches, and parents will still need support.
You can still give from home today: ❤️

Together, we’re building a stronger, warmer community, one family at a time!
