On behalf of The Salvation Army and the 5000+ kids across British Columbia\u00a0 who started school with a new backpack full of school supplies…thank you!
\nBecause of your support, these kids were able to start the first day of school fully equipped with supplies for a year of learning.\u00a0 You made a difference in their lives and their families…<\/p>\n

“My husband brought home 2 backpacks full of school supplies donated from The Salvation Army and I can not thank you enough! Anyone who has ever had school aged children can tell you how many expenses line up at the beginning of a newschool year. To have this wonderfully generous gift was a blessing to our large family and took a lot of pressure off at just the right time!\u00a0 Thank You so much for always thinking of the young families who work hard and really appreciate your support. “<\/em> – Lauren & Bradley, Parents to Liliana (10), Evangeline (6), Harlan (3) and Sadie-Lynne (2)<\/p>\n
