How uplifting it was this afternoon to listen to the leaders of this year’s PBP campaign at Highlands Elementary School. They worked as a team to speak to other classes, brainstorm ideas for collection, make school announcements and organize the packing of 30 backpacks. When asked what they liked most about the campaign they said helping others. Thank you for the continued support of Highlands and Ms. Johnson. The packs, a large bin of toiletries and $280 in gift cards went immediately to Directions Youth Services. 😊

THANK YOU Lord Selkirk School for your 8th year of support for Project Backpack!!
A huge shout out to the Educators who give so much of themselves to both their students and to the greater community. To the students for their compassion and commitment. To the community for their very generous spirit and support . 50 backpacks, two huge bins full of toiletries and supplies, and $760 in gift cards ($500 of which came from one family!) were dropped off to Directions youth Services on a busy afternoon in Vancouver.
We saw firsthand that the need is greater than ever.
