BACKPACKS FOR SUCCESS 2025
After an incredible year where we packed and delivered over 300 backpacks to students across Sault Ste. Marie & the Algoma District, we’re gearing up once again for an even bigger Backpacks for Success 2025 and we need your help!
Last year, thanks to the support of generous donors, dedicated volunteers, and local businesses, we surpassed our goal and ensured hundreds of children were equipped with the essential school supplies they needed to succeed.
This year, we're aiming even higher and we’re inviting you to be part of the impact.
How You Can Help
We are now actively seeking sponsors, supporters, and volunteers to help make this year’s campaign a success. Here's how you can get involved:
- Sponsor the campaign as a business or organization
- Donate school supplies or funds to help us purchase needed items
- Organize a collection drive in your workplace or community
- Volunteer to help sort, stuff, and deliver backpacks
With your support, backpacks will be distributed to children and youth through community partners including school boards, social service hubs, Indigenous organizations, and local nonprofits.
Let’s Do it Together Again
Backpacks for Success is more than just school supplies, it’s about giving students the confidence and tools they need to start the year off right. When you contribute, you’re helping open doors to learning and opportunity for children right here in our community.
