What does over $1,000 worth of school supplies looks like? Check out the images below 👇
Each year the need grows and we recognize that. These supplies are all destined to reach kids in our community who will most benefit – and we couldn’t be happier to be able to provide this donation on behalf of Olivia’s Trust.
Olivia would be thrilled 🤩
It’s hard to believe it’s that time of year, but here we are and there are many, many families struggling to afford back-to-school supplies for their kids. This is where we, as a community can step up to help those that need it 😊
Once again we are partnering with Tim Halman’s office (MLA for Dartmouth East) to collect and distribute these much needed school supplies. Olivia’s Trust will be buying items that are most needed and sought after to fill any gaps in the donations.
If you are out and about shopping or picking up school supplies and have the means to add a few extra items, you can donate those items to us for distribution to those in need.
You can drop off donations to Tim’s office at 99 Main Street in Dartmouth or at Jym Line Glassware at 23 Venture Crescent in Elmsdale. If you are unable to travel to donate, reach out to us on Facebook or by email (dale@livstrust.com) or call 902-880-6848 and we can make arrangements for a volunteer to come pick up your donation.
Let’s make the 2025-2026 school year memorable for our kids in all the best ways possible 🙂
As some of you know, Olivia loved school and especially loved shopping for schools supplies. Since we know how difficult this time of year can be for families who are already stretched thin with the rising costs of every day life, we can think of no better way than to help those families by donating supplies to take some of that burden from them.
Olivia’s Trust is thrilled to once again donate back-to-school supplies! We have been doing this every year since we began and this time we have donated $725 worth of supplies for all age levels and grades (special thank you to our supporters who donated specifically for this endeavour) 🙂
We want to wish all the kids heading back to school in the next few days a wonderful year of learning, enrichment and of course, fun 🙂
The most wonderful time of the year is here as kids are heading back to school in a few weeks. However, for many families this is a very stressful and expensive time of year as well.
With the cost of every day life seemingly rising by the minute, we know the added stress of getting all the necessary back to school items may be out of reach. That’s where we aim to help out 🙂
If you are shopping and can afford to grab an item or two, please do so. Your simple act of kindness will benefit a student going back to school in September and possibly ease the burden on some families in your community.
The Olivia Jollota Memorial Trust, with the support of Tim Halman, MLA Dartmouth East will be a accepting donations at the Dartmouth East Constituency office at 73 Tacoma Drive (Suite 204). We can also accept donations at Jym Line Glassware Ltd. located at 23 Venture Crescent in Elmsdale or you can reach out to Dale via email (dale@livstrust.com) to make alternate arrangements.
Any donation is welcome and needed. If you cannot get out to purchase school supplies, consider a donation to Olivia’s Trust and let us do the shopping for you.
Let’s make this year amazing for our students 😊
Once again the Dartmouth East office will be collecting back to school supplies on behalf of the Olivia Jollota Memorial Trust.
