What We Provide
Our programs are designed to remove barriers to learning by making sure every child has the supplies and clothing they need to succeed.
Backpack & Supplies
Every student receives a brand-new backpack filled with grade-appropriate school supplies - notebooks, pencils, erasers, rulers, and everything they need to start the year ready to learn.
Clothing & Shoes
We provide new clothing and shoes so children can attend school with confidence and dignity, regardless of their family’s financial situation.
School Identification Process
We work directly with teachers and school staff in the Anglophone East School District to identify the students who need support the most - ensuring help reaches those who truly need it.

The Backpack Program
Anglophone East School District, NB
Our flagship program provides 150 students with brand-new backpacks filled with school supplies, plus new clothing and shoes for the school year. Teachers and guidance counsellors in partner schools identify children in need, and we ensure every item is new, age-appropriate, and ready for the first day of school. Founder Sarah Dixon has grown this from helping a handful of students to serving children across the entire district.
How We Serve
We work across the Anglophone East School District to reach the children who need it most.
Working With Schools

We also serve students in urban schools where families are struggling financially, ensuring no child in our district starts the year without what they need.
