Backpacks delivered!

 A big Thank you goes out to all those who helped and made contributions to the 2011 Backpacks 101 Project. This year we filled 95 backpacks and delivered them to three shelters in Etobicoke. This was a great success.
We would like to thank all individual donors and also the businesses who took part this year by making very generous contributions.
Special thanks to ....
Annette at Fill Your Own for donating 90 stainless steel water bottles.
Storage Mart for donating a storage unit to help us organize and pack the bags.
Community Trust for donating 500 tote bags.
Etobicoke Handweavers and Spinners Guild for hand making scarves, hats and mitts for the children at Women's Habitat.
Jacquot for donating 50 Cd's
Rabbat Photography for donating calculators and school supplies.
Shasha Bakery for donating individually wrapped Sasha cookie packs
EmbroidMe for donating water bottles, hats and mugs

We look forward to 2012 as we keep our goal set for 101 backpacks! We will be collecting items all year so if you would like to make a contribution at any time, please send us an email.
