Help 400 HDSB Students Start School with Confidence
As students across our community head back to school, some will arrive without the basics they need: a backpack, school supplies, or even lunch. The Halton Learning Foundation (HLF), thanks to our generous community, is here to help.
HLF launched its Back-to-School campaign, with the help of its cheerful helper, Carrie the Backpack, to support 400 HDSB students by September 30. Families are counting on this support, and HLF is asking our generous community to step in urgently so they can continue to say “YES” to every request for emergency support they receive.
Here's what one parent shared about what saying “YES” meant to her family:
“Just wanted to say how grateful I am for this support. I’m a single mom, and because of your help, I’m able to get what my daughter needs for back-to-school and food, and I’m so unbelievably grateful for the support.”
Make a gift for a student in need today: Donate Now
Together, we can give students not just supplies, but confidence, dignity, and hope.
Learn more about Carrie’s Back to School mission and how you can help at GoBack2School.ca.
