Your actions have great impact. Change is possible, and you can make it happen.
There are so many ways that you can get your school involved in the work being done by the Education Foundation of Ottawa. Your student council is already doing great things in your school – here’s an opportunity to extend that reach to schools across our city by taking a stand against poverty.
Get Informed about the need in your school.
Students in Crisis
Clothes, school supplies, medication, and other basic needs.
Emergency assistance for those who need it most, when it’s needed most.
Food Security
Students are coming to school hungry, without enough food to last them for the school day. Others, don’t have enough food at home. You can help us by securing food for hungry bellies.
