Levelling the playing field

For many families with limited resources, children’s school supplies don’t always make the cut. Parker Street helps these families send their kids and teens back to class with the tools they need to succeed.
Each year, we provide hundreds of students in the Halifax Regional Municipality with new backpacks and school supplies to start the year with confidence.
