ACS Backpack Drive

2024 Backpack Drive

The 2024 Backpack Drive is now complete and backpacks have gone home with clients. 45 Ancaster families were supported through this community effort!
Thank you to everyone who donated to help us support Ancaster children and teens as they head back to school.

Through this initiative, and with the support of our community, we were able to provide 97 backpacks filled with school supplies and snacks, helping Ancaster children and teens head back to school with things they need to learn.  

In total, we provided 35 complete backpacks for children in kindergarten to grade 4, 29 complete backpacks for youth in grades 5-8, and 33 complete backpacks for teenagers in grades 9-12.
