Students from Queen’s University and the Royal Military College are providing essentials for youths experiencing homelessness in Kingston, Ont. through a knapsack and supplies program.
Queen’s University student Celina Lovisotto and her team at Bags of Promise made their first delivery of supplies to the Kingston Youth Shelter on Saturday.
“Our goal is to provide these youth with reusable bags filled with basic necessities that they may lack,” she says.
Lovisotto co-founded the ‘Bags of Promise’ group in the spring of 2021 with her friend Brooke Baker.
It was Baker’s personal experience with homelessness while living in Calgary that inspired the project.
“I always look up to Brooke and think that if she can get to the same point that I can with … not having as many resources, then everybody should be able to do it,” Lovisotto says.
“We should be able to start to close this divide and have these conversations early on.”
