As the school year approaches, let’s show students that we got their backs!
Join UJA with our We Got Your Back school supply drive, an annual initiative to help vulnerable students in our community head back to school with all the essentials.
HOW TO HELP:
1. Register to purchase back-to-school items.
Please remember that the backpacks are for children of all ages, including teenagers.
2. Choose one or more of the kits outlined and start shopping.
3. Pack up all your items and bring them to your selected drop-off location during your chosen dates. All completed backpacks will be shared with families in need throughout the GTA via UJA’s partner agencies.
DROP-OFF INFORMATION:
Drop off at Lipa Green Center (4600 Bathurst St, North York).
Please note: If you are unable to drop off supplies on the designated dates but would still like to participate, please contact Magdalena at [email protected].
By registering and telling us what kit(s) you’re committing to, it helps us determine how many backpacks we can provide and how close we are to meeting our goal of 400+ completed backpacks.
Thank you for helping students in our community start their school year off right!
