ACS Backpack Drive

2025 Backpack Drive - FULL DETAILS COMING SOON!

Help us send Ancaster children and teenagers back to school with the supplies they need for a successful school year. With the rise in number of families accessing the Ancaster Food Bank, we want to provide some extra support and alleviate some of the costs associated with going back to school.

The 2025 Backpack Drive will run from June 2nd – August 8th and your donations can be dropped off at the Ancaster Community Services office located at 300 Wilson St. E., Ancaster.

Through the 2024 Backpack Drive, we were able to support 45 Ancaster families and provide 97 backpacks filled with school supplies and snacks!
Thank you to everyone who donated to help us support Ancaster children and teens as they headed back to school.
