The Waterloo Education Foundation Inc. (WEFI) recommits to funding community partnerships and programs that support student well-being.
On December 14, 2024, the WEFI Board of Directors passed a motion to provide $55,000 to local organizations and student success programs:
- May Court Club of Kitchener-Waterloo
- Food4Kids Waterloo Region
- Nutrition for Learning
- WEFI Winter Wear
"We are pleased to, once again, support programs and initiatives that boost student well-being," said jeewan chanicka, president of WEFI. "By supporting these partnerships, we pave the way for a brighter future where each student's well-being continues to be a priority. Our heartfelt thanks to these partners for their hard work and commitment."
These local organizations were selected for their long-standing dedication to supporting students across Waterloo Region. They support students directly by helping to tackle food insecurity and ensuring students have access to winter clothing through the WEFI Winter Wear program.
