The Children's Foundation of Guelph and Wellington is a local charitable organization that works to build a community where every child and youth has the opportunity to participate, learn, and grow to reach their full potential. We are passionately committed to enhancing the well-being of children and youth by connecting them to experiences and supports that contribute to their sense of belonging and help them to reach their full potential.
Food Security: Our Keep Kids Fed program offers food support to local children and youth through two different pillars:
Access to Recreation and Life-Skill Activities: Our Free to Grow program nurtures the physical, social, emotional, and mental well-being of children and youth by funding recreational and life-skill opportunities such as sports, arts, camps, driver's education training and leadership development.
Holiday Assistance: Our Adopt-A-Family program connects families who need support during the holiday season with donors who give the gift of hope and joy by shopping for tangible gifts and grocery-needs cards. Families are referred to the program by social-community agencies in Guelph and Wellington County.
