The Town of Olds Community Connections Centre is continuing its annual Backpack Drive to support local children heading back to school.
Donations of new or gently used backpacks and lunch kits are being collected for the Olds Community Connection Centre’s drive.
School supplies are also welcome.
Items can be dropped off in Olds at:
-
Community Connection Centre — 4911 51 Avenue (Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)
-
Community Lending Shelf Drop Box — 4829 50 Avenue (available anytime)
All donated items will be distributed to local children during the Back 2 School BBQ Bash on August 26 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Community Lending Shelf. The event is free to attend.
Organizers say the drive helps ensure every child in the community has the tools they need for a successful school year.
