Every Child Deserves a Confident Start to the School Year!
BaCK-to-School season should be filled with hope, not hardship. Yet for many families in Chatham-Kent, the cost of school supplies and groceries can be overwhelming. United Way’s Back to School Program provides students with gift cards for school essentials—like backpacks, notebooks, or healthy school snacks.
Your donation helps reach more children and relieve stress for families.
