Government Lends a Hand in School Supply Drive

Released on August 18, 2015

Education Minister Don Morgan joined The Salvation Army Haven of Hope Ministries today in support of students as part of The Salvation Army’s annual Back to School Campaign.

“We want students to be excited about going back to school and ready to enter their classrooms,” Morgan said.   “We’re proud to partner with The Salvation Army’s Back to School Campaign again this year to support students whose families may be struggling to purchase necessary school supplies.”

The Salvation Army says the need continues to increase each year.   An estimated 1,100 students in Regina will benefit from donated school supplies this fall.   In support of this year’s campaign, backpacks and school supplies were gathered by local MLAs and staff at the Ministry of Education.

“For many families, there’s only enough money to cover the basics, which are housing and food,” Haven of Hope Ministries Major Bruce MacKenzie said.   “The school supply drive helps lighten the load families experience at the start of the school year.   We appreciate the support and involvement of the ministry and the community for their generous donations.”

The backpacks will be given to families in need before students return to class.   The Salvation Army Haven of Hope Ministries will continue to accept school supplies until September 4.
