Apply for Help

Are there children in your school in need? Are the students in need of food, clothing and/or learning tools?

If the answer is yes, then The Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund Adopt-A-School program wants to hear from you. Our registered charity and its programs are designed to provide funds and other basic necessities for children in need, and we accept applications from schools and school boards throughout British Columbia.
