Support Students
With our Back-To-School campaign, we help families facing economic challenges by providing students with the necessary school supplies to succeed as they engage with their studies. We believe that each student should have their basic educational needs met and aim to equip them for a successful school year and future.
Yonge Street Mission
We will be partnering again this year with Yonge Street Mission (YSM), a local Christian development agency that understands poverty. Since 1896, YSM has provided wraparound support and services making it possible for individuals, families, and communities to move forward. As a developmental agency specializing in poverty-related challenges, they work closely with individuals, families, children, youth, and entire communities living with chronic poverty. YSM aims to help them rise out of poverty.
We will be collecting donations of backpacks and school supplies at both of our locations from July 14th – July 28th. You can drop off your donations at any of our services, look for the Love Thy Neighbour sign in the foyers. You can also donate, financially, please click the link below. As a guide, each backpack with school supplies costs about $35.
