The United Way of Bruce-Grey has been running The Backpack Program since 2005.

United Way of Bruce Grey is encouraging all who are able to consider supporting the Backpack Program this year. Every contribution — large or small — makes a direct impact on the life of a local student.

$80,000 Fundraising Goal for 2025

This program only exists because of the generosity of individuals, businesses, and organizations that believe every child deserves the same fresh start. United Way Bruce Grey is calling on the community to rally once again and help local students show up for day one with everything they need to succeed.
