Stuff the Bus with Backpacks & School Supplies for Local Youth!
We’re teaming up with United Way Greater Toronto to support students in need through a special Back-to-School Backpack Drive — and you’re invited to be part of the impact!
Date: Saturday, August 9th, 2025
Time: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Location: Downtown Brampton Farmers’ Market
(Main St. N next to the BIA Tent)
Bring a new backpack or school supplies and help us Stuff the Bus — literally! A school bus will be parked right on Main Street North, ready to be filled with your generous donations. All supplies collected will be packed and distributed to local youth from Our Place Peel and REST Centres.
Bonus Joy: Santa will be making a surprise summer appearance to spread cheer and keep an eye out for generous donors. Give from the heart, and you might just make it onto the Nice List!
School Supplies Needed:
- New backpacks
- Pencils, pens, and markers
- Notebooks and paper
- Binders and folders
- Lunch bags and water bottles
- And more!
Let’s make a difference together and ensure every kid starts the school year confident and prepared.
