Toronto, September 5th, 2023 – Yorkgate Mall in partnership with the Downsview Advocate, has officially launched its 1st Annual Countdown to Class! School Supplies Drive in support of The Children’s Breakfast Club.
Through September 23rd, visitors to Yorkgate Mall are asked to help fill the yellow School Bus donation box located near BMO with much-needed school supplies.
“With support from our shoppers, our retailers, and local agencies, this program will help make a difference in the lives of thousands of children,” says Chris Couch, Marketing Associate Yorkgate Mall. “As the need in our community continues to grow, we are asking for the public’s help with this year’s School Supply Drive, and we hope that anyone who can afford to donate over the next couple weeks will support our fundraising drive. Our goal is to help the needy students in our community get off to a great start this back-to-school season”.
The most needed supplies for these students include pens, pencils, pencil case, markers, crayons, rulers, notebooks, lunch kits, refillable water bottles, binders (3 inch), scientific calculators, highlighters, USB sticks, and combination locks. The Children’s Breakfast Club will distribute the donations collected throughout the fundraising drive. A full list of items can be found at yorkgatemall.com.
Yorkgate Mall, located at Jane and Finch in Toronto, Ontario, offers over 60 stores and services under one roof including No Frills, LCBO, IDA Drug Mart, Dollarama and BMO.
