Fill Up the Bus – Back to School Campaign

Join us on Wednesday, August 21st from 12pm – 5pm in our parking lot at the intersection of York and Rectory Streets for our annual Fill Up the Bus event! The parking lot is located across the street from the Western Fair Grounds and the goal is to fill a school bus with school supplies for those in need at Rotholme Women’s & Family Shelter.

Our Back to School Campaign runs each August to provide needed items to those using services through Rotholme Women’s & Family Shelter and attending school (from JK to high school). Collected items are given to students throughout the school year, not just in September. Please call 519-433-2807 ext. 2109 for more information.
