The count down is on!! We are hoping to fill 120 backpacks by the first week of August. We are hoping to collect enough supplies by July 26th. Please check out the sidebar to see what items are needed to reach our goal. We received enough stainless steel water bottles for each backpack today from Fill Your own!!
How can you help??
*Make a donation of new school supplies
*Having a playdate or party? Ask each child to pick out an item for the backpacks or make a goal to collect 10 packs of markers.
*Match your child's donation.
*Make a goal to find the most eco-friendly supplies.
*Have fun! Each donation is important, even one pencil sharpener. It all matters.
Drop off your donation to Muzart-School of Music and Art. (225 The East Mall, east of Cloverdale Mall). Summer hours- Tues 2-6, Wed & Thurs 3-7. Send me an email with any questions at info@backpacks101.org.
You're doing beautiful things for these kids and it warms my heart to know there are angels like you in this world.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea...we will definitely be helping out!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to contact your organization, but your e-mail is not working. It keeps coming back saying undeliverable and there is no number to reach you at.
My name is Belle and I am the HR Manager of a company located in Etobicoke.
We are a small automotive marketing company that deals with OEM groups (not dealers). One of our clients KIA, has started a charity campaign to promote community awareness called “Drive for Change”.
We have decided we would like to do a backpack event at our office and when I looked up where we can drop them off to, I found your site.
We are starting our event next week and our end date is August 21, 2012. I noticed you wanted to complete your drive the first week of August, any chance we can drop off how ever many we collect to the East Mall address on August 21st?
Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you.
