Waterloo police’s Backpack Challenge aims to help kids have a better back-to-school
The police then pass along the gathered items to be donated to area organizations to distribute to families and children in need or made available for pickup at the Children’s Safety Village.“Getting a new backpack and school supplies is fun and exciting,” acting chief John Goodman stated.
“We are reaching out to the community to help ensure that every child in Waterloo Region goes back to school feeling confident, excited, and ready to learn.” Those that are looking to take part can drop off the items at any of the police divisions by Aug. 23.
