United Way Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma is inviting you to help students kick off the 2024-25 school year with the launch of its annual Backpacks for Success program. This program provides students from kindergarten through grade 12 with backpacks filled with grade-appropriate supplies. “We are thrilled to run our second annual Backpacks for Success initiative! Continuing this program under our Helping Kids Be All That Kids Can Be pillar is incredibly fulfilling," Fundraising Manager Rayna Evoy said in a news release issued today. "Providing the necessary supplies helps students start the school year with confidence.
