Level the playing field
For many families with limited resources, children’s school supplies don’t always make the cut.
Help send children back to school with the supplies they need to build their future.
Each year, Parker Street assists hundreds of students in the Halifax area with the school supplies needed to enable them to start the school year with confidence.
Registration for the current school year is now closed. Please check back soon for the Sept 2022 school year!
