Every donation makes a difference and helps ensure more students head back to class feeling confident and ready to learn.

Please share this post to help spread the word. Together, we can support local families and set students up for success! 💙

This year, for the first time, there will also be a VOCM Block the Bus event in Central Newfoundland!💙

We are thrilled to announce a second Block the Bus event taking place on the same day at Terra Nova Motors in Grand Falls-Windsor. This is an incredible opportunity to connect with families and donors outside of the metro region and expand our impact across the province.

Join us, VOCM Cares, Terra Nova Motors, and the Central Status of Women Council for a fun-filled day as we collect donations to support single-parent families. We look forward to seeing everyone at both Block the Bus events!
