During our annual campaign, schools apply for funding to help cover essentials like food, warm clothing, school supplies and emergency supports — and every dollar raised goes directly to meeting needs that local educators see first-hand.

Over the past decade, the campaign has directed more than $15 million to hundreds of schools and organizations and has made a real difference in classrooms and communities across the province. At a time when targeted government supports have been discontinued, and stretching school budgets even thinner, community support matters more than ever. Many schools are facing increased demand for basics like food and supplies, and you can help today by donating to the Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund.

Your support helps ensure that schools have the resources they need to give every child a fair chance to learn and thrive — because when children are supported, our whole community benefits.
