Children's Hope Foundation Formerly known as Halton Catholic Children's Foundation (HCCF). We have a new name and a new look - but our mission remains the same.

We raise funds to help HCDSB students overcome financial barriers to learning, which helps children thrive. WHO WE ARE

The Halton Catholic Children's Foundation (HCCF) is an independent charity. We have partnered with the Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) to support their students and families in need. We raise funds to help HCDSB students overcome financial barriers to learning, which helps our students succeed in school. WHAT WE DO

“….whatever you do for the least of these, my brothers and sisters, you do for me…” Matthew 25:40

As a Catholic Community, we are called by Jesus to care for others. We meet this calling by providing Hope, Dignity, and Equity to students and families in need. We raise funds to help cover costs for:
• Basic necessities, such as food and clothing, school supplies, shoes, eyeglasses, personal hygiene items, and learning technology
• School activities with a fee, such as school trips, team fees, and other learning materials


HOW YOUR GENEROSITY HAS AN IMPACT

“Your gift upheld the dignity of every family at a time when poverty’s bite is most keenly felt in our school community.” – HCDSB Principal

“I am very grateful for the gift card, it has helped me a lot. I have been using food banks which have been amazing, but they don’t supply meats or freezer food which I was going without. Thanks to everyone who helped I appreciate it very much.” - HCDSB parent

Wow!!! That’s incredible!

When it comes to achievement, consistency matters more than perfection.

That's one of the biggest lessons shared by Bishop Reding graduate Louis Low. This year, he earned the highest graduating average across HCDSB and received a Governor General's Bronze Medal.

With an incredible 99.13% average, Louis credits his achievements not only to hard work, but also to being surrounded by classmates and educators who continually challenged him to grow.

Nancy Dinolfo was a big supporter of the children in our community. Our hearts are heavy. Thank you for all you did, Nancy to assist HCCF and the children we serve.

With heavy hearts, we mourn the unexpected passing of Nancy Dinolfo, Superintendent of School Services for the Halton Catholic District School Board.

For more than 30 years, Nancy faithfully served HCDSB as a teacher, Vice-Principal, Principal, and Superintendent of Education. Throughout her distinguished career, she touched countless lives through her unwavering commitment to Catholic education, her dedication to students and families, and her deep care for those she served.

Nancy was a respected leader, mentor, and colleague whose influence extended far beyond the schools she supported. She was known for her compassion, wisdom, and ability to make people feel valued and supported. Whether working alongside staff, celebrating student achievements, engaging with families, or supporting school communities, Nancy led with humility, grace, and a genuine love for others.

As a member of our senior leadership team, Nancy played an important role in shaping and strengthening our Catholic school system. Her leadership helped foster learning environments where students could thrive academically, spiritually, and personally. Her legacy will live on in the many schools, communities, and individuals she inspired throughout her career.

Nancy’s passing is a tremendous loss for our HCDSB community and for the broader Catholic education community. While we mourn her loss, we also give thanks for the gift of her life, her faithful service, and the lasting impact she had on generations of students, staff, families, and colleagues.

As a symbol of our collective grief, flags at all HCDSB schools and the Catholic Education Centre have been lowered to half-mast.

We ask our HCDSB community to keep Nancy, her family, friends, colleagues, and all who mourn her passing in your prayers.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:21)

May Nancy rest in the eternal peace of Christ.
