PACK THE SACK

Pack the Sack 2023 has ended, registration for 2024/25 academic year will open on June 30th, 2024.

We want to give a heartfelt and sincere thank you to the many community members that helped support over 150 Children and Youth from all across Shelburne County to feel more confident and prepared on their first day of the 2023/24 academic year.

We definitely weren’t able to do this on our own. We had so many groups and folks who contributed to our Pack the Sack Program! Through this support invested over $13,000 back into our Communities and Families.

As we close the book on this program for this academic year, we are looking towards the next year and building new partnerships in order to be able to address the growing needs of our communities.
