Backpack Program

2024 PROGRAM IS NOW OPEN!

Each year, our Backpack Program ensures children from less advantaged backgrounds going into junior kindergarten through Grade 12, enjoy a smooth transition into the coming school year by providing backpacks filled with supplies.

Our goal is to provide each child with a quality backpack filled with grade level appropriate items… binders, refill paper, scribblers, report covers, pencil crayons, pens, pencils, rulers, and the list goes on.

This program is made possible through the many kind donors in the community who provide donations of new backpacks and supplies. As well, we could not do this without our loyal volunteers who help package and distribute the backpacks.

2024 PROGRAM IS NOW OPEN:  This year’s program is open for registration with a two-step process, as follows:

  1.  First, you need to REGISTER your child/children by completing the registration form (click on button below).
  2. Book an Appointment – Beginning in August you will be able to book an available time slot to pick-up your backpack(s).  An appointment button will be made available on August 1st where you will be able to select an available date/time to come to Simcoe Hall for pick-up.  Please be sure to come back to select an available slot, as they are first come, first serve.  Please note that your child/children must be registered to book a time.
