Operation Backpack is CLC’s annual back-to-school drive, where we equip families in both the Lethbridge area and Philippines with all the supplies their children need to head back to school in the fall. Our target support group is those facing financial strain or job loss, low-income households, single parents, or immigrant families. Supplies are typically donated by our church congregants and community members and distributed however needed to families that register.
Registration is open and spots are limited. Click the button below, fill out your information on the form, and we will be in touch on how to pick up your supplies! For more information about this program, please email office@citylightchurch.ca.
We are also looking for monetary donations to help offset the cost of our backpacks and any supplies we need to purchase, as well as donations of school supplies. You can send donations to the church by e-transfer to giving@citylightchurch.ca – please write Operation Backpack in the comments of your transfer. All donations are tax receiptable! You can bring school supply donations in during our Sunday services, or during weekly office hours.
