2020 Adopt-a-School
The Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund starts our 10th annual Adopt-a-School campaign this fall knowing that there are more heartbreaking stories out there of public school children living without basics such as food, clothing and security. We also know that Vancouver Sun readers — who since 1981 have supported the fund’s charitable work and the programs that we provide to help needy children — will continue to help us improve this situation. We are grateful for that, and for the opportunity to make a difference. Which is why we are once again asking for your support.
COVID-19
As we weather the current crisis regarding COVID-19 we would like to assure our donors and those who benefit from their generosity that we are looking at ways to continue providing food to schoolchildren despite school closures.
