We sponsor children that will benefit from our program, chosen directly by the schools based on their knowledge of the child’s needs and situations.

Confidentiality is a priority for us. Once a child is chosen, volunteers shop with care customizing each backpack. Volunteers then sort and deliver these backpacks to students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 in North Bay and surrounding areas serving both the English Public and the Separate School Boards.

Together we can make a difference!

Each year we would like to increase our backpack numbers and
the only way we can do this is with your help!
