For low-income families, the stress of back-to-school can be overwhelming.

Many students start the year at a disadvantage because their families can’t afford the average $500 to $600 per child.

Glowing Hearts Charity is working to provide 1000 filled backpacks for their Backpacks For Youth program.

They need YOUR help to reach this goal.

You can nominate a student, make a monetary donation, drop off quality backpacks and school supplies at one of the locations across Simcoe County found on their website, or become a sponsor by visiting glowingheartscharity.org/backpacks today.
