More than 2,000 backpacks were filled in Calgary this week for students whose families are facing financial barriers.Volunteers and donors worked together to prepare the bags before the new school year. The CityNews report described it as a busy day of people pitching in for local children.A backpack full of supplies cannot solve every challenge a family may face, but it can make the first day feel a little lighter. Each one is a practical reminder that a community is paying attention.The effort shows how a group of people can turn a simple school supply drive into a hopeful start for thousands of young students.
