The Backpack Project is an annual local initiative, which provides mutual aid in the fall/winter months and backpacks full of necessities and comfort items on Christmas Day, to community members who are experiencing homelessness. Backpacks and donated items are delivered to non-profit and outreach groups in each municipality when received. They in turn deliver the donations directly to people, who live outside without a home. This will be the 16th year of operation!
A donation box will be available in the foyer at the District of Metchosin Municipal Hall:
Friday November 1st to Friday December 20th.
