The Backpacks 101 Project continues! This year, we will be filling backpacks for children at Women's Habitat and Ernestine's Women's shelter. Our goal is to fill 110 bags!
If you are interested in supporting the program, please sign up to fill a backpack on the SIGN UP Genius. You will find the list of contents on this blog. All items are to be new except for a book for each child. Pre-loved books are welcome!
Drop off will take place from August 12-14 at 3 Cardigan Road. Please text me with your name and approximate drop off time to 416-859-7983.
High School students may bring their volunteer hours form to be signed. Students will receive 2 hours per backpack up to 10. (10 backpacks= 20 hours). After 10, I will add one hour per backpack. (15 backpacks=25 hours)
For those of you who are out of town, you may wish to purchase an item or 2 on the Amazon Wishlist. We will compile all of the items that we receive to fill the bags. If you would prefer to send an alternate item, you are able to do so as the list has an "add item" option.
Thank you so much for supporting the program!
