School Supplies Program

Why a School Supplies Program?

Back to school may add significant financial pressures to an already tight budget, especially for low-income families

The School Supplies Program helps these families in the Orléans-Cumberland community with children and youth (from Kindergarten to Grade 12). They are provided with all kinds of school supplies.

Registration period: from June 4th to August 2nd, 2019

• Must be a resident of Orléans-Cumberland and a low-income family (See income chart) • Must provide the following documents to register:
• Proof of ID for all members to the family
