Back to School Drive

Support our goal of raising $2,000 CAD to help students start the school year with confidence and the supplies they need to succeed!

Back-to-school season is an exciting time filled with new opportunities, but for many families, the cost of school supplies can be overwhelming. A simple backpack filled with essential items can make a world of difference in a child’s academic journey, boosting their confidence and setting them up for success.

At YRES, we’re committed to supporting students and families in our community. With your generous donation, we can:

Purchase Backpacks: Your contributions will go directly towards buying high-quality backpacks, ensuring that every child has a sturdy, reliable bag to carry their books and supplies.

Provide School Essentials: In addition to backpacks, we aim to fill them with basic school supplies like notebooks, pencils, markers, and more—everything a student needs to thrive in the classroom.

Make a Community Impact: These backpacks will be distributed at our Back to School event at Markham Public Library, where children and families can come together, celebrate the new school year, and receive the support they need.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. Together, we can ease the burden for families and help students start the year prepared and motivated.

Please note that CanadaHelps takes a small portion of the donation as a processing fee.
