Kids in most school divisions here in the south east will head back to class on September 7th but for a lot of families, sending the kids back to school can present a financial challenge when it comes to providing the basic essentials/tools for learning.  Vicki Olatundun and her staff at Steinbach Family Resource Centre are in the midst of their annual school supply drive and there are a couple of ways you can help out.  You can either make a cash donation at Staples here in Steinbach.  Vicki will then be able to shop for the items she needs.  Or if you've already purchased school supplies that you'd like to donate, you can drop them off directly at the Centre on Highway 52 just west of town.  

Vicki also wants to get the word out to parents who need assistance with providing school supplies for their kids (or to those who know of a family who may need a little help) to please not hesitate to reach out.  They will make sure that your child is provided with the things they'll need as they head back to school.  You can contact Steinbach Family Resource Centre for details:  204-346-0413.
