What goes into a Stephen’s Backpacks Backpack?
“We’ve got stuff…they don’t got stuff…why don’t we put stuff in backpacks and give it to them” so eloquently relayed to then Premier of Alberta Ed Stelmach by SBPs Director Dorothy Halley as she explained Stephen’s straight forward logic. You can help children in need by DONATING NEW STUFF or by GETTING INVOLVED to pack stuff.
