A Heartfelt Thank You to Aramark Canada for Supporting Students in Our On Your Mark Program

As the new school year approaches, many families face the challenge of preparing their children with the supplies they need to succeed. Thanks to the incredible generosity of Aramark Canada  employees and volunteers, 80 students in our On Your Mark program will be starting the year with brand-new backpacks filled with essential school supplies.


This thoughtful donation is more than just a gift—it’s a powerful message of support and encouragement for students who are working hard to achieve their academic goals. Each backpack represents opportunity, confidence, and the belief that every child deserves the tools to thrive in the classroom.


One parent shared how much this donation meant to her family: “I really appreciate the backpacks my kids picked up a little while ago. I loved them and they helped me a lot. Now we have 5 children and the school supplies will be a huge help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”


The On Your Mark program is a free tutoring and mentoring program helping students in grades 1 to 12. Aramark Canada’s contribution directly impacts these young learners, ensuring they begin the school year feeling prepared and valued.


We are deeply grateful to Aramark Canada for their commitment to community and education. Your support helps us continue our mission to empower students and build brighter futures.


Thank you, Aramark Canada, for making a difference—one backpack at a time.

We at the Working Women Community Centre are heartbroken by the tragic events that took place during the Lapu Lapu Day Block Party in Vancouver. Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and the entire Filipino community. No one should ever feel unsafe. We condemn violence in all its forms and reaffirm our commitment to fostering a community rooted in respect, safety, and solidarity. We offer our sincerest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims.  Let’s continue to uplift and support one another.
