In September, many kids will return to school without the proper school supplies. Our #communitypartners @moxies are helping fundraise for #packasack. Treat yourself to a dinner @moxies and send a kid in @OCH_LCO to school with a full backpack.

We are speechless! Together we raised $12,766 for #PackaSack. This year it has been the most successful @Bridgehead #PackaSack campaign. This means that hundreds of kids will return to school with a backpack flled with all the school supplies they need.

Standing strong against child poverty, hand in hand π€πβ¨
Our dedicated volunteers from Khalsa Aid #Ottawa Team, OCH Foundation, Active Youth Ottawa, @OttawaPolice , @OCH_LCO came together for the incredible #PackASack event. Volunteers packed over 1000 bags filled with essentials for less fortunate kids.
Shockingly, child poverty rate in Ottawa stands at 14% and it rises up-to 30% in some wards.
Khalsa Aid aims to continue making a lasting impact and build a brighter future for every child.
