Every child deserves the right to reach their full potential
Imagine a childhood where dreams seem out of reach because of the harsh realities of poverty. For far too many kids in Windsor-Essex, this is their reality. Their potential and dreams for the future, cut short by circumstances beyond their control. It’s an unacceptable truth that can’t be ignored.
Did you know our community has the highest rate of child poverty in Canada according to the latest census data? In fact, 1 in 7 kids live in poverty across Windsor-Essex, and that rate is as high as 1 in 3 kids in some neighbourhoods.
But here’s the glimmer of hope: every step we take to support local kids in our community is a step towards a path out of poverty and a brighter future. It’s an investment not just in them, but in an economically stronger and more compassionate community.

When we work together, we’re not just providing food, education, and stability. We’re nurturing dreams, igniting potential, and shaping tomorrow’s leaders. We’re showing kids that they don’t have to stay in the cycle of poverty. We’re showing kids that they matter.
