As the school year approaches, let’s show students that we got their backs!
Join UJA Women’s Philanthropy and UJA Genesis in our We Got Your Back school supply drive, an annual initiative to help vulnerable students in our community head back to school with all the essentials.
How to help:
1. Register to purchase back-to-school items such as water bottles, lunch boxes, markers, and pencils.
2. Choose one or more of the kits outlined and start shopping.
KIT 1: READY TO GO
1 Backpack
1 Binder
1 Package of lined paper
1 Package of graph paper
1 Package of folders
KIT 2: READY FOR LUNCH
1 Lunch box
1 Water bottle
3-4 Non-perishable, nut-free, Kosher snacks
KIT 3: READY TO WRITE
1 Pencil case
1 Package of pens or pencils
1 Package of markers or pencil crayons

By registering and telling us what kit(s) you’re committing to, it helps us determine how many backpacks we can provide and how close we are to meeting our goal of 400+ completed backpacks.
3. Pack up all your items and bring them to your selected drop-off location. All completed backpacks will be shared with families in need throughout the GTA via UJA’s partner agencies.
DROP-OFF INFORMATION:
Tuesday, August 13th and/or Wednesday, August 14th, 2024

Please choose your preferred location upon registering.
