Looking for an end of year gift for that special educator?  We are proud to announce our Teacher Thank You Campaign.  You can participate by donating $20 to sponsor each fully stocked backpack in honour of your special educator.

To make a secure online donation, simply visit Canada Helps at www.ThankAnEducator.ca, give us a call at 519-376-1560 or stop by our office at 380 9th Street East in Owen Sound.

We can send your educator an e-mail to let them know that a donation has been made in their honour or we can send you a certificate by e-mail to print off and share with them.  Don’t have a printer?  If you come to our office at 380 9th Street East in Owen Sound, we are happy to supply you with the certificate.

Since 2005, the Backpack Program has been reducing classroom bullying because each child starts school with the proper supplies, just like their classmates.  To date, we have distributed over 30,000 backpacks across Bruce and Grey Counties to low income children.  These children are able to go to school stress free and with smiles on their faces, thanks to our amazing donors.

For more information about our Thank An Educator Campaign, please give us a call at 519-376-1560.

To access the Backpack Program during the school year, call the United Way of Bruce Grey office at 519-376-1560.
