The Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund has been running our Adopt-a-School campaign for more than a decade now.

These past two years have been challenging and we know that the need for food security and other basic living necessities for many British Columbia children and their families is greater than ever.

We 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.

Since our first Adopt-a-School campaign ran in 2011 we have disbursed more than $9 million to schools and community organizations in British Columbia.  Your generous donations have supported tens of thousands of students each year.

When you donate to the Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund, 100 per cent of your donation goes to to help children in need; there is no money taken from donations to cover administration costs.
