More than 90 bags with school supplies are ready to be donated
For the 7th year, the Rotary Club of Etobicoke provides student backpacks filled with school supplies to shelters and outreach programs to help youngsters when they return to school in September.
 
With our club's COVID 19 funding we have 90 plus bags ready and we are proud that, once again, our own club members are making their "lunch money for backpack project," which means they will provide money to purchase and fill more bags.
 
In addition, individual club members and their families are also donating bags and school supplies. Coronavirus has not stopped Rotary Etobicoke members from fundraising and working hard to support our community.
 
The works were coordinated by Gillian Dugas, Chair of Rotary Etobicoke's COVID 19 and Hands-On Etobicoke Committees.
