It’s already backpack season in Chatham-Kent.
FreeHelpCK has begun its Backpack Program in preparation for the fall.
Chatham Goodfellows, in honour of their 70th anniversary, has kicked off the program with a donation of $2,070.
FreeHelpCK’s goal for the program is to help children get “a good start in September.
We know it might seem early, but our commitment to supporting the students of Chatham-Kent remains unwavering,” FreeHelpCK member Tim Haskell said in a media release. “This program has been a tremendous success in the past, assisting over 1,200 students with essential backpacks and supplies.”
The organization is looking for donations and volunteer support for the program.
