The KidSafe Project hasn't added a story.
Given the extreme uncertainty that the future holds in the context of
a worldwide pandemic, our programs could take many forms this coming
fall through the spring. At the base level we have our regular year
plan of winter, spring and summer break time programs, with after
school programs running throughout the school year. We have, however,
developed our capacity to be nimble and responsive so that if schools
were to close again at some point this fall, we will be ready and able
to respond in a way that's as seamless as possible for our kids and
their families.
Whether our programs are running only for breaks and after
school times or continuously due to school closures, we will also be
running additional food security programs to meet the increased demand
due to the pandemic.
We are seeking continued support from Vancouver Sun Children's
Fund for our upcoming winter, spring and summer breaks. We kindly
request your support to go towards our kids' meals, program costs,
Activity Leader salaries, KidSafe's Compassion Fund, and Take Home
Food for our kids and their families.
Winter Break, December 21st - 31st, 2020
$15,750 to cover
the cost of each child's lunch throughout the entirety of winter break.
Spring Break, March 15th - 26th, 2021

This project is one of many received by The Vancouver Sun Children's Fund for our 2020/21 Adopt-a-School campaign.
Since the day our first Adopt-a-School news story was published in the fall of 2011, generous Vancouver Sun readers have helped us raise more than $6 million to improve the lives of B.C.’s neediest school children.
The money you donate helps teachers and school staff who are dealing with children suffering from the effects of poverty and enables them to provide breakfast or lunch, food at weekends, other necessities (like warm clothing) and educational experiences. We are grateful for your support, and for the opportunity to make a difference.
(100 per cent of donated funds are used for grants. Admin & expenses are either supported by the Vancouver Sun newspaper or paid out of interest on investments.)
