Your school bag like everyone else<\/h2>\n

For over 25 years, nearly 300 children a year have benefited from the \u201cYour school bag like everyone else\u201d program. This allows them to start the year with everything they need.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the program has been constantly improved. Today, children from disadvantaged backgrounds start their year with a backpack, lunch box, running shoes, winter boots, snowsuit, hat, neck warmer and mittens. It is important to note that all the equipment donated is new and trendy. In addition, $50 is allocated for generic school supplies and $50 for classroom materials.<\/p>\n

In 2021, the program is getting even better! Students will also receive a fall coat and a thermos.<\/p>\n

Ton sac d\u2019\u00e9cole comme tout le monde<\/strong>\u00a0is our largest program to date.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Emergency food service<\/h4>\n

In the context of the pandemic, the closure of schools resulted in many children not having access to the Lunch Club program. The Foundation decided to provide affected families with grocery baskets including food and hygienic products. We continue to help these families who are struggling with this reality.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Food for pregnant teens (OLO)<\/h4>\n

The FEVS supports, through the purchase of egg, milk and orange juice coupons, the Eggs, Milk, Orange (OeufsLaitOrange, OLO) program of the CLSC of Vaudreuil-Soulanges. This program, offered to pregnant women living in poverty, contributes annually to more than one hundred families in the region to welcome a healthy baby. The delivery of OLO coupons, as part of a personalized follow-up by the workers of the Family-Childhood team, is a concrete way to support the optimal development of children.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Diner\u2019s club<\/h4>\n

Students not having access to meals and snacks is an increasingly common reality in our region. As the learning difficulties associated with this reality have long been demonstrated, the Foundation provides financial support to schools that wish to implement a structured nutrition program for their students.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
