The Student Emergency Needs Program supports students in need in Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga who are facing challenges related to poverty. Through the program, students receive gift cards that they can use for food, clothing, hygiene items or other needs.

With the COVID 19 situation, students are at home and in need of food, groceries, hygiene items or other items. In many cases, the need is significant as one or both parents may have lost a job(s) in the current situation and they don't know where to turn - and they reach out to the school principal who contacts the Peel Learning Foundation.
