Thank You Sleep Country!

A special thanks to Sleep Country for the donation of school supplies to the Centre.  The supplies were distributed to families who needed a little extra help in getting their children ready for back to school.

  While Sleep Country has made a big difference in Saskatoon, this is a national campaign as well

From August 1-31, 2009, The Salvation is partnering with Sleep Country Canada in its annual Backpacks for Kids program. The program supports children in grades one through seven who can’t afford new school supplies.

Canadians are encouraged to drop off new backpacks filled with school supplies at local Sleep Country stores. Donations will be distributed to local children through The Salvation Army and KidsFest, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping young Canadians who live at or below the poverty line.

Since the Backpack for Kids program began in 2005, and with the generous support of the public, more than 20,000 backpacks filled with supplies have to given to children in need.
