Preferably non-perishable food items

Our mission is to provide less fortunate students with NEW supplies, so they go into school feeling confident. DO NOT donate used supplies. For any businesses doing a drive for us, PLEASE share this information with employees because we will NOT accept old, dirty backpacks and beat-up supplies. Thank you.

• We also accept donations of NEW supplies:
• Supplies that are not already packed in backpacks are preferred.
• backpacks (any size)
• notebooks (wide and college ruled)
• pencils/pens (black, blue, and red)
• erasers
• highlighters
• pencil pouches and boxes
• markers (thick)
• coloured pencils
• crayons
• dividers
• 3 ring binders
• folders
• filler paper (wide and college ruled)
• construction paper
• glue sticks
• index cards (3×5 ruled, white)
• scissors (blunt-tip)
• calculators (elementary and scientific)

While clothing is a common and important donation, there are many other items shelters need that are overlooked. Many of these items must be purchased new. For second-hand donations, remember to only give items that are in good condition – Remember: this isn’t an excuse to get rid of junk lying around your house.

Socks are small, but they make a huge difference in many lives. Bags can range from school backpacks to luggage. 

Plates, bowls, teaspoons and large ladles to pots and pans. Crockpots, Tupperware, glasses and cups, serving trays, and other common items as well are accepted. 

From toothpaste to small bathroom products, we accept the following:

• Shampoo, conditioner
• Shower gel
• Deodorant
• Toothpaste and toothbrush
• Pads and tampons
• Band-Aids
