The Salvation Army thanks Staples in Lower Sackville for their help with back-to-scho

[B00Mer]

The reason I am posting this, is to remind you to donate $20 to help families that can't afford school supplies, get them for their children.

I was out for a drive today going for a drive on the new Stony Trail and turned off on Country Village Road - there I stopped at a store and saw across the street a drive for donations.. It's just an FYI article if you feel up to it..

Back-to-school can be a challenging time for the millions of Canadians and their families living near or below the poverty line. That’s why The Salvation Army raises funds and partners with organizations in the community to purchase supplies and assist families in need of help.

This year, numerous Staples locations across the region helped students in their community by collecting donations in-store during the busy back-to-school shopping season.

One of these locations, the Staples in Lower Sackville, NS, presented the local Corps with a donation of more than $670, as well as five boxes of school supplies. The supplies were distributed to students at A.J. Smeltzer Junior High and Centennial Elementary School in Lower Sackville.

If you are on welfare the government(taxpayers) pay for school supplies. It is the working poor that need help.
The extra taxes pay for high wages and solid gold pension plans for legions of snivil serpents that do little more than create jobs for themselves by passing useless pieces of paper around and having extended coffee breaks they call meetings.

The working poor do have help it is called an election and it is up to the voter to elect the right people to create positive change.

Where? There are programs that help everyone, but I guess it depends on location?
