Salvation Army School Backpack Drive

Sending 2000 kids in need to school with backpacks full of supplies

Not only has the Salvation Army and Fitness Town (along with our amazing partners, Staples Canada and Starbucks) reached our goal... we exceeded it!

The 2011 Salvation Army Supply Drive for kids in needed started out with a goal of sending 2000 kids in need to school with a new backpack full of essential school supplies and with the support from the community, we exceeded this goal! Thank you for your donation and support to Salvation Army.
 
Every September, single-parent and low-income families struggle to equip their children for a new school year. The Salvation Army supports these families by distributing donated school supplies. To handle the increased demand, every summer across the Lower Mainland, Fitness Town, Staples and downtown Vancouver Starbucks locations collect donations, back packs and school supplies for children in need, through The Salvation Army.
