Welcome Backpack Angels!
Your donations help us ensure that every child in Calgary can have the joy of a new backpack and essential supplies to empower them as they begin a new school year. The first thing we need are backpacks! We accept all new backpack donations, but encourage you to purchase quality bags so that the children receiving them can use and enjoy them for (at minimum) the full year.
If you would like to add some supplies to your backpack or just donate these items, you will find below a list of items that schools recommend for each grade level.
We also welcome cash donations. Despite the incredible generosity of Calgarians, we will often have a few ages or areas where we are low on items and having the funds to fill in those gaps is a real blessing! Donate to our Backpack Angel Campaign.
The simplest way to donate backpacks and supplies is to make a purchase through this Amazon Link that has needed items ready to add to your cart – make your purchase and the items will be shipped directly to our warehouse.
