Operation Backpack is Back!

Halifax and Shearwater sites, H&R MFRC

The H&R MFRC is collecting backpacks and school supplies on behalf of the members of HMCS Goose Bay this summer. These donations will be given to youth in an Arctic community. Donation boxes will be set up at the Halifax and Shearwater sites of the H&R MFRC.

Donations will only be received during the week of July 19 – 23, 2021, between the hours of 8:30am and 4pm.

Not sure what to donate? See below for a list of common school supplies. Be sure to watch out for sales at stores like Walmart, Staples, and Superstore!

Thank you in advance for your donation!
