EVERY STUDENT DESERVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL - COMMUNITY SUPPORT NEEDED NOW!
Halton Catholic Children’s Foundation (HCCF) has announced a back-to-school initiative to provide backpacks with school supplies and to support other basic needs like clothing, shoes, and outerwear for students in the Halton Region starting in September and throughout the school year.
“Poverty is a barrier to learning success for a variety of reasons, but HCCF believes every child deserves the opportunity to succeed,” says Victoria Craig, Executive Director of HCCF. “Back to school can be particularly challenging for struggling students and their families. There is a need for cool weather clothing, shoes, and outerwear that fits growing children, as well as school supplies for the classroom and at home that supports learning and immersive educational experiences.”
“There are few things more important than accessible education,” states Patrick Murphy, HCCF Board of Directors Chair. “With the support of our Halton community, we know we can make a significant difference to these students by helping to remove some of the financial burden of back-to-school and other basic necessity costs that can occur during the school year.”

DONATION MATCH
The HCCF Back To School Campaign will last for 6 weeks, from August 19th to September 30th, 2024, and is aiming to raise $30,000 from Halton’s community. In addition, thanks to the generosity of Madelaine Stone, District Vice President at TD Halton Commercial Banking Centre, they are offering a $10,000 donation match for any gift size. If we receive the full donation match, this would mean potentially $20,000 from the community to help students in need head back to school with what they need. That coupled with our corporate partner campaign goals ($20,000) will round out the campaign to $40,000 raised, allowing us to say yes to 200 children for supplies who otherwise will be forced to do without.
DONATIONS ARE STARTING TO COME IN
Thank you to the kind community members who have already made a caring donation. Join them in helping students in need to succeed in school.
12x YOUR IMPACT: You can increase your impact by 12 times with a monthly gift. For example, making a gift of $20 / month will be matched for $240, making our fundraising objective more attainable and donations more manageable for our community members.
2X YOUR IMPACT: One-time gifts will also be matched, so you can double your impact.
