Toronto, ON – September 06, 2024 – Afro-Canadian Development Inc. is proud to announce the successful completion of our Third Annual Back to School Aid event, which took place on Saturday, August 31, 2024. Thanks to the overwhelming support from our community and partners, we were able to distribute over 250 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to children from low-income families in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

Our journey has come a long way. What began as a small initiative, where we distributed school supplies to 50-75 students from our office location, has now grown into a larger scale. This year, we proudly expanded our reach, providing backpacks to 250 students, creating an even bigger impact on the community.

This achievement was made possible through the tremendous support of TD Bank’s Black Employee Network and the Honda Canada Foundation. Both organizations not only sponsored the event but also organized backpack drives within their networks, ensuring that these children have the supplies they need for a successful school year. We are deeply grateful to these partners and our many individual donors for their unwavering generosity.

We would also like to extend heartfelt thanks to the volunteers from Afro-Canadian Development Inc., TD, Honda, and other community members who worked tirelessly to make this event a success. Your dedication and hard work have directly contributed to brighter futures for these students.

We look forward to continuing this tradition and expanding our reach in the years to come. Together, we are making a lasting difference in the lives of our children.
