SUMMARY:Operation Backpack
LOCATION:Staples parking lot - Oshawa Centre
DESCRIPTION:<br />Operation Backpack<br />2nd annual Stuff‑A‑Bus event<br />Saturday, J
 uly 25, 2026, from 12pm - 5pm outside Staples in the Oshawa Centre parking 
 lot.<br />Our goal is to stuff the bus with donated school supplies! <br />
 Operation Backpack is a Durham‑wide initiative that ensures students across
  Durham Region start the school year with a backpack and essential school s
 upplies. The program is a fantastic collaboration between Ignite Durham Lea
 rning Foundation (IDLF), Simcoe Hall Settlement House, United Way Durham Re
 gion (UW), Durham Children's Aid Foundation (DCAF), St. Andrew's Community 
 Food Bank & Durham Community Health Centre (DCHC).<br />Thanks to this incr
 edible partnership, over 5,000 backpacks were distributed to students last 
 year, helping reduce financial stress for families and ensuring students fe
 el confident and ready to learn on the first day of school.<br />Stuff‑A‑Bu
 s is a fun, visible way for the community to get involved — inviting shoppe
 rs to donate new supplies on‑site while learning more about how Operation B
 ackpack supports local students and families. We would love to have your st
 ation there to help spread the word, broadcast live (if possible), or help 
 share the story behind this impactful initiative.<br />We will have a Durha
 m Ways bus on site to stuff with school supplies and as an extra bit of fun
 , we'll have washable paint to decorate the outside of the bus!<br /><br />
