The Calais Foundation closed out 2019 with a lunch subsidy fundraiser generating close to $2,000 to fight food insecurity for students with special needs!

Nutrition is a vital part of a child’s development yet access to healthy food isn’t always the reality for all children. Hunger has been linked to depression, anxiety and withdrawal, all of which are obstructions to a child trying to focus on education. The $1,600 you donated will go long way in fighting food insecurity and ensuring every student at The Calais School gets the most out of their education.

“It’s important to realize that though food insecurity is closely related to poverty, people living above the poverty line can also experience food insecurity. Your donations will help The Calais School provide a wholesome meal many times over. Thank you for taking a stand against food insecurity,” explained Richard Gentles, The Calais Foundation Vice President.

A huge thank you goes out to The Calais Foundation donors for giving the gift of nutrition!
