ACS Backpack Drive

2025 Backpack Drive

The 2025 Backpack Drive is now complete and backpacks have gone home with clients.

Thank you to everyone who donated to help us support Ancaster children and teens as they headed back to school. 

Through this initiative, and with the support of our community, we were able to support 145 children and teenagers here in Ancaster

We collected piles of backpacks, lunch bags, water bottles, school supplies, and snacks to help offset some of the costs associated with going back to school.

Thank you to the numerous community organizations, groups, businesses, and individuals who organized their own drives in support of ACS. 

Special mention also to the Rotary Club of Ancaster A.M. who spent $5,000 purchasing over 55 backpacks, plus lunch bags, water bottles, pencil crayons, calculators, other school supplies, and a mountain of school snacks!

We could not have done this without the support of our amazing community!

Thank you to The Net Youth Engagement Program volunteers for helping get the backpacks ready for clients!
