As the school year approaches, let’s show students that we got their backs!
Join UJA for our We Got Your Back school supply drive—an annual initiative to help students experiencing vulnerability in our community head back to school with all the essentials.
HOW TO HELP:
1. Register to purchase back-to-school items, such as water bottles, lunch boxes, markers, and pencils.
Please remember that the backpacks are for children of all ages, including teenagers.
2. Choose one or more of the supplies needed and start shopping.
- Backpack
- Binder
- Lunch box
- Water bottle
- Non-perishable, nut-free, kosher snacks
- Pencil case
- Package of pens and/or pencils
- Package of markers or pencil crayons
By registering and telling us what supplies 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.
3. Pack up all your items and bring them to your selected drop-off location during your chosen dates. All items will be packaged and shared with families in need throughout the GTA via UJA’s partner agencies.
DROP-OFF INFORMATION:
· Tuesday, July 21 and Wednesday, July 22, 2026 | 9:00 AM–8:00 PM
· Tuesday, July 28 and Wednesday, July 29, 2026 | 9:00 AM–8:00 PM
Drop-off locations are situated throughout the GTA.
Please choose your preferred location upon registering.
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].
