The Single Parents Association says they’ll have to continue to fill the gaps for single parents who will struggle to outfit their kids to school in September.

Recently government announced it was adding a benefit to low-income households to provide $100 for back-to-school supplies.

Each year, the association works to drum up those supplies for single families, including their annual block the Metrobus campaign.

Danielle Seward, who is with the association, says while the new benefit will only get parents halfway, that’s better than nothing.

She says many of the families will see benefits from the new program, which will help with not only supplies, but clothing and sneakers.

“One-hundred dollars may not go as far as it did years ago, but it’s $100 more than what we saw last year,” she told reporters.
