About BagswithoutBarriers
Bags Without Barriers is a registered Canadian charity providing backpacks, school supplies, and essential support to underserved children, youth, and families across Toronto and Brooklyn, NYC. Founded in 2022, our work focuses on reducing barriers to education by making sure students have the tools they need to feel prepared, confident, and supported. Through community donations, corporate partnerships, volunteer packing events, and annual back-to-school initiatives like I Got Your Back, we distribute hundreds of backpacks and essential supplies to students in need. We also support graduating students through our Fab 5 Initiative and mothers/families through seasonal essential-care initiatives.
