Backpack Program

Does your family need help with school supplies?


2022 Backpack Program: Starts Wed, Aug 17, 2022

How to sign up!

The Cochrane & Area Family Resource Network (FRN) is excited to partner with Staples and the Kiwanis Club of Cochrane offer the Backpack Program. This long-running program eases the stress and costs for families associated with starting a new school year by providing students K through 12 with important back-to-school supplies. 

To participate in the program, families must show proof of enrollment in a Cochrane or West Rocky View County school and GST documentation listing dependent children. If you do not have the documentation, call to book an appointment with a Resource Worker. 

For more information, contact the Cochrane & Area Family Resource Network (FRN) at 403-851-2265 or email frn@cochrane.ca.
