From November 1, 2023 – November 30, 2023, all schools within the Waterloo Catholic District are invited to raise funds to help battle homelessness in the region as part of our Sheltering Hearts: A Home for Everyone fundraiser. Tiny homes have been placed on each of our secondary school properties, allowing students to visualize the cause for which they are raising money.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to A Better Tent City (Kitchener-Waterloo) and The Bridges (Cambridge). Donations are made easily through a QR code (featured in the image above). Those interested in donating will scan the QR code and be taken directly to SchoolCash Online. Here, they can select which of the two organizations they wish to donate to and request a tax receipt for donations over $50.00.
Aside from working to provide shelter for under-housed members of our communities, these fundraising efforts will also align with our Catholic Social Teachings, which speak to charitable giving and help foster a society that reflects the principles of justice, compassion, and love for all, particularly the least fortunate among us.
Thank you for being so considerate.
Director Tyrone Dowling
