Yesterday, in honour of our 22nd Anniversary, we challenged our friends and supporters to help us mark the occasion and celebrate by donating $22 to our Backpack Program. Many of you rose to the challenge and we thank you all. We really appreciate your support!

We also challenged our Backpack Program Coordinator Sarah Raynsford to pack 22 backpacks and she did so in near record time. Way to go Sarah!

This anniversary is indeed a milestone and one that couldn’t have been achieved without the amazing support of our donors and community. So much magic has happened, lives have been changed and struggling families have been helped. We are so humbled and grateful. Thank you.
