Between June and September, the Peters-Owusu Foundation joins forces with the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) to support their annual Backpack and School Supplies Drive. This is a vital initiative that ensures students across the Greater Toronto Area begin the school year with the tools they need to succeed.
Each year, thousands of students return to school full of anticipation and excitement. Still, for many families facing financial hardship, that excitement is clouded by the stress of not being able to afford basic school supplies.
Every student deserves to start the year with equal access to essential learning tools.
By providing supplies, we help reduce the financial pressure on families facing hardship.
Prepared students feel more motivated, engaged, and ready to learn.
Supporting education builds stronger, more connected communities across the GTA.
Keeping your community clean and green, one pickup at a time for a healthier tomorrow for a clean earth & clear future.
