School Supplies Distribution

For many parents, the “back to school” period is a difficult time of the year. The bill can be hard to swallow, especially for low-income families.

In order to help those families, Sun Youth holds an annual school supplies distribution in August. We also receive requests for help from various schools in Montreal all year round.

We offer a variety of essential supplies (backpacks, notebooks, pens, pencil cases, etc.) that we receive as donations, as well as brand-new material that we buy with donated money.

Here are three different ways in which you can help.

Make a donation

Each year, hundreds of kids are equipped for the new school year. For Sun Youth, taking care of families means contributing to a better future for their children.
