Local firefighters are helping students head back to school with the supplies they need to start the year prepared.
The Dawson Creek Firefighters Charitable Society has donated $1,000 worth of school supplies to the South Peace Community Resource Society’s annual Backpack Drive.
The donation will help provide school essentials to local youth and families who may need additional support ahead of the new school year.
The firefighters’ charitable society says supporting young people and helping them succeed is one of its core goals.
The organization said every student should have the opportunity to begin the school year feeling prepared, confident and ready to learn.
The society is also recognizing the work of the South Peace Community Resource Society, which provides support to families throughout the South Peace.
The donation is part of the firefighters’ ongoing efforts to support youth and strengthen the local community.
