Frequently Asked Questions

How do I donate?

Good Question. We have several methods for financial donation.

1) Go to the give now page and choose the items you wish to donate.

2) Sign up for monthly donations.

3) Make a one time donation through our bank account (12-3659-0073260-00).

Can I donate a backpack and stationery to you?

Please send us an email. We do have a standard list of stationery items that can be accepted. We love it when businesses or groups choose to partner with us and host a stationery collection drive.

Do you accept gently used backpacks and stationery?

The easiest answer is no we do not. Whereas we would never want to see usable stationery go to waste, we believe in giving these students the best we can. Many of them have never had new stationery or backpacks and we wish to provide them with the feeling of these items being their very own, never before been used stationery. Further, we are looking into a recycling/repurposing program for used stationery and will let it be known when that has been set up.

How do I volunteer or get involved?

We love people wanting to be involved. We are truly seeking a community helping community. Volunteers might be required to complete a police vet to ensure safety and privacy for all involved in B2SP. Based on an interview process, we will work to find the perfect way for you to be involved.

Can I run a stationery collection drive?

Yes! This is great way to partner with B2SP. We have a set list of items that are always in need and in large quantity. Send us an email and we can help get you started!

How do the students receive their bags?

Bags are distributed at an exclusive party for the families. If your business would like to donate or contribute towards this event, we would love to chat with you! Please send us an email.

What is the Playground Party?

This is when the fun begins! Playground Party is an exclusive event when the backpacks are given to the students. The families are invited to attend this end of summer party and enjoy food and fun together.

How are the students chosen?

Students are nominated by their school principals, teachers and staff that are aware that help is needed.

Can I nominate a student for backpack assistance?

Yes you can. However we do not guarantee all nominations will be helped. Each nomination is dealt with on a case by case basis. The student's school will be involved in helping with each need requiring assistance.

Are donations tax deductible?

Yes. As a registered charity, we are able to offer tax deductions as long as we have your details.
