OUR MANDATE

We provide children with the essentials required for school, trusting that this will assist in increasing the child’s self-esteem, as well as create a positive experience towards returning each year.

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

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 and French Public and Separate School Boards.
