2024 Back 2 School Registration is now closed!
Donations are closed for 2024.
Please check back in Summer, 2025.
United Way of Colchester County* – in partnership with Maggie’s Place and SchoolsPlus – works to provide essential Back 2 School supply starter kits for students from primary to grade 12. Each child will receive a backpack, and school supplies will be provided as needed.
The goal of this program is to:
• Ensure every child across Colchester County has what they need to succeed with their education.
• Bring community members together to help our neighbours.
• Encourage children to learn without barriers.
*Please direct all questions to either SchoolsPlus or Maggie’s Place in Truro.
