Students face assorted challenges that affect their ability to achieve their best. Through the support of donors, sponsors and volunteers, The Angel Foundation for Learning is able to support, inspire, and nurture TCDSB students through our Four Wings of Support.
Warm clothing, food, hearing aids and eyeglasses are just some of the necessities of life that this fund addresses.
