In Kwantlen Park Secondary, in the Whalley area of Surrey, principal Mike Kilpatrick is in need of $5,000 for emergency funds for food and clothing.
“School funds are very tightly restricted on what we can use them for, but the Vancouver Sun funds allow us to step in and help kids and families at critical times,” said Kilpatrick whose school on 132nd Ave. and 104th St., is bulging at the seams – 1650 students in a school built for 1,200 – with 16 portables taking the overflow.
Again many families living in the area are new to Canada and housing insecurity was a big issue, he said.
“One of the most powerful things about the Sun’s funds is that it helps us build connections with families because when they come to us and ask for help we can say ‘yes.’
“A lot of these families don’t have winter clothes or boots or gloves. So to be able to get those things for the kids – to get them something new that fits and is meant for them makes a big difference.”
