Over a month ago, the amazing team at Scotiabank rolled up their sleeves to build handcrafted, solid wood garden boxes with Councillor Dugay for Day of Caring 2025. These boxes were sold to support local United Way initiatives, and Scotiabank generously offered to match the funds raised through sales!
This morning, we were thrilled to receive a cheque from the Scotiabank team in support of our ongoing community programs. Thank you for being champions of change and demonstrating how generosity in action can grow beyond just one day.

School is about to be back in session and we have a pop quiz!

Do you know how many school aged students in the Peterborough community live in poverty?
✅ Answer: 2,895

Help us give these students the tools for success this school year when you donate to our Backpacks for Success campaign. We believe every child deserves a quality education and part of that includes equal access to essential school supplies.

Right now, we’re asking for a little extra help from our generous community so we can purchase higher cost items like calculators and math kits. No matter the size of your donation, $5 or $50, you can be sure it makes a BIG difference to a child in need.
