School Supplies

Together, Let’s Support Student Success

For many families, the start of the school year brings financial challenges. The cost of school supplies can be especially difficult for low-income households.

To help ease that burden, Sun Youth organizes an annual school supply distribution in August and responds to requests from Montreal school professionals throughout the year.

We provide essential items such as backpacks, notebooks, pencil cases and writing supplies received through donations. Monetary contributions allow us to purchase additional new materials.


How to Register

School supply distribution is by appointment only.

Families who are not already Sun Youth clients must provide the following documents: Identification for each household member. Proof of address. Proof of income.

To book an appointment, email services@jas-sy.org or call 514-842-1214.

Supplies can be picked up on foot or through our drive-through service on the scheduled date. Delivery is not available, except for individuals with reduced mobility or in exceptional circumstances.

We can only guarantee school supplies for the first 1,000 children registered.

Make a Financial Donation

Every year, hundreds of children receive the supplies they need to start school. At Sun Youth, supporting families also means helping build a better future for their children.

Volunteer

Hundreds of volunteers help us sort supplies, prepare school bags and distribute materials to families.
