All students should have access to backpacks and school supplies to help them get the most out of their school experience – and you and/or your business can help our students and families in need with a donation to the Toronto District School Board’s Backpacks & School Supplies Drive!
With the help of Healthy Planet, Vanilla Prepaid, and Petro-Canada, NEWSTALK 1010 has donated $10,000 to the drive, helping to fill and deliver backpacks for local children!
The TDSB is Canada’s largest and most diverse school board, with more than 238,000 students in 600 schools across Toronto. One in every three children live in poverty right here in our city and many TDSB students are new to Canada. We know that there are many students who are not equipped with school supplies for the school year, and as we continue to deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need is even greater for many of our families.
Donations are still being accepted until the end of September. CLICK HERE to find out how you can make a monetary donation towards new backpacks and school supplies today!
