Our story…
Description
Together, we can make a difference for students across TVDSB! Join us in supporting the Thames Valley Education Foundation and donate in support of the Caring Fund!
Imagine it being the middle of winter and not being able to afford a winter coat or boots. Imagine staying home from school, because your clothes are old, dirty and worn and you don't feel like you belong. Imagine worrying about when your next meal might be and if people know how hungry you are. Imagine having to choose between school and work, just to pay the bills. Imagine how it would feel being told that you were going to get that winter coat and boots for free. Imagine how it would feel knowing you could go to school again, having new, clean clothes. Imagine how it would feel receiving gift cards for food, knowing you can eat again. Imagine being able to focus on your education, without having to worry about bills.
That's how the Caring Fund helps students across TVDSB. The Caring Fund supports students in emergency financial need with items such as food, clothing, transportation and temporary shelter, to ensure that they can continue to attend school and learn, even during a crisis. The Caring Fund also helps to reduce poverty-related stigma, strengthen the bond between school communities and at-risk youth, and provide immediate support (usually within 48 hours), while other community support systems (that require more paperwork and planning) are put into place.
So please, join us and donate in support of our 5K Walk/Run for the Caring Fund. Let's show them that together, we care. Together, we can make a difference. Because we all matter.
