No child should ever walk into school feeling left out—without a backpack, without supplies, and without the tools they need to succeed. That’s why this year, Handy Bros. Heroes proudly donated 1,500 backpacks to FreeHelpCK as part of their annual Operation Backpack campaign.
🎯 Originally aiming for 2,000 backpacks, FreeHelpCK increased their goal to 3,000 after our donation—bringing hope, dignity, and opportunity to even more local children.
Because every child deserves a fair shot at education.
With rising costs and school supply lists growing longer every year, many families are struggling to keep up. At an average of $50 per backpack, the cost of heading back to school can feel out of reach for parents already stretched thin.
Operation Backpack is more than just a handout—it’s a hand up. It ensures that every child starts the year with confidence, equipped and ready to learn, regardless of their family’s financial situation.
📦 A massive shoutout to Portable Storage for donating the moving and transportation costs of our C-can for this initiative. Their generosity helped get those 1,500 backpacks exactly where they needed to go—into the hands of the kids who need them most.
To every partner, donor, and supporter: thank you for standing with us.
Born from a simple idea—to give back—the Handy Bros. Heroes Foundation is our way of putting compassion into action. As a non-profit, we work to support:
From emergency aid to community partnerships, our mission is clear: to be a force for kindness, dignity, and hope in Southwestern Ontario.
We believe in showing up when it matters. And we believe in doing it together.
To everyone who ran with us, cheered us on, donated, or shared our story—thank you. Your support fuels our mission and reminds us of the power of community.
❤️ This is our why.
