The Kiwanis Club of Sarnia has been leading the charge for this event for the past 8 years, 5 with the current Manager, Lynn Faubert, at our local Staples store in Sarnia. Every year has proven to be a winner for the children of south Sarnia and Forest schools. This year Staples did things a bit different. Customers could either purchase a pre-made kit of supplies or could just make a monetary donation. Monetary donations equalled approximately $5418 including a donation by the Seaway Kiwanis Club which was split equally between 8 schools that responded to Lynn at Staples with their "wish lists". The supplies were delivered on Wednesday, Sept. 15th by members of the Kiwanis Club of Sarnia and Sarnia/Lambton Golden K. Receiving schools were very pleased that they were able to submit their requirements to more closely match their actual needs within each school. Thank you to the schools that participated this year. Kits were also donated to the Inn of the Good Shepherd for distribution to their clients in need of help at back to school time. We hope that our service to you is valuable!
Again this year the Kiwanis Clubs of Sarnia, Sarnia Lambton Golden K, Forest held a fund raising BBQ at the Staples Store in conjunction with the Back to School Project. Money raised will be used to help fund the three Lambton County Kiwanis Clubs projects.
