Here’s some photos from yesterday’s volunteer event in London, where TELUS team members and community volunteers came together to create a friendlier future for 500 youth across London by packing 300 Kits for Kids, backpacks filled with essential school supplies and assembling 200 Kindnessgrams, sweet treats with handwritten notes of hope, as part of the 21st annual TELUS Days of Giving.
Kits for Kids
For many families, rising costs are putting essential school supplies out of reach. Through TELUS’ Kits for Kids program, backpacks filled with school essentials including notebooks, pencils, pens, colouring supplies and loose-leaf paper are distributed to students facing financial barriers. To date, TELUS has distributed more than 250,000 Kits for Kids across Canada, including 10,000 this year alone.
Kindnessgrams
Sometimes, a simple gesture is all it takes to remind someone they aren’t alone. Each Kindnessgram package pairs a bag of sweet treats with a handwritten note of inspiration, designed to let our community’s most vulnerable youth know that their neighbors are rooting for their success. These small tokens serve as a powerful reminder that they are seen, supported, and valued.
Camp Mail
Attendees created camp mail kits to ensure youth who are attending camp are not left out while other campers are receiving camp mail from home. These kits include fun activities and hand written youth friendly jokes.
The items from the London event will support five local charity partners: Big Brothers Big Sisters of London and Area, London Food Bank, London and Middlesex Community Housing, YMCA of Southwestern Ontario and Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU). Together, these organizations provide critical support to vulnerable families, children and youth across London through social housing, food insecurity, health and fitness programming, camps, child care, specialized newcomer services, mental health and career support programs.
