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, giving students the opportunity to visualize the cause that they are
raising money for.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to A Better Tent City (Kitchener-Waterloo) and The
Bridges (Cambridge). Donations are made easy through a QR code, which will be placed
directly on the tiny homes. The poster (in the link below) will also feature the QR code.
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 can request a tax
receipt for donations over $50.00.
Aside from working to provide shelter for underhoused 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.
