We’re thrilled to announce that a total of 2,039 backpacks have already been claimed for the upcoming school year, bringing us much closer to our goal of 2,500!

This week, Community Living Walkerton and District picked up their 225 backpacks, ensuring that even more students will be ready for the new school year.

With all the packing and distributing, we ended up with quite a bit of cardboard! Here’s a snapshot of just some of it broken down.

These backpacks are crucial in helping students across Bruce Grey start the year off right, while also easing the financial strain on families. Your support is truly impactful. If you’d like to contribute, please visit Backpacks4Kids.ca.
