Vancouver Sun Children's Fund Society hasn't added a story.
At Fraserview Learning Centre in Mission, increasing numbers of students rely on the school’s breakfast and lunch programs. However, funding has drastically declined due to the pandemic's after-effects and rising living costs. Youth care worker Kirsten Leigh Castonguay highlights the urgent need for $20,000 from the Vancouver Sun’s Adopt-A-School (AAS) campaign to feed and provide essentials for the school's 120 most vulnerable students.
Many students at Fraserview face severe challenges, including hunger, poverty, and unstable housing. The school offers a lifeline, providing meals, clothes, and essential support. However, recent cuts to community donations and provincial funding have left a significant gap, making it difficult to maintain these critical services.
Donations ensure that students receive the food and clothing they need to succeed. Your contribution directly impacts their well-being and academic performance, offering stability and hope in their daily lives.
By supporting Fraserview Learning Centre, you help transform the lives of at-risk students, ensuring they have the resources to thrive. Join us in making a difference. Your generosity can provide the essential support these students need to build a brighter future.
