Hamilton Police Service is proud to announce the return of its annual “Fill the Pack” Back-to-School Backpack Initiative. The campaign encourages the public to donate new backpacks and school supplies to support students in need across the city.

Last year, thanks to overwhelming community support, Hamilton Police were able to provide 200 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to local families. This year, the Service aims to make an even greater impact.

Donation Period:

July 11 – August 22, 2025

Drop-Off at Hamilton Police Service Stations:

All donated items will be distributed to Hamilton students ahead of the 2025-2026 school year.

Hamilton Police Service encourages everyone in the community to get involved. Your donation—big or small—can have a meaningful impact on a student’s school year and future success.
