Last week we launched our SOS (Support our Students) Fund to help those most impacted by COVID-19.

You may recall receiving a message from Chris Whitaker last Thursday to ask for your help.

In recent weeks, emergency bursary requests have soared to levels well beyond what we have ever seen. So many of our students rely on part-time jobs to help them afford their tuition, books, food and rent. But with only essential businesses operating right now, many of the jobs and work placements our students rely on have disappeared.

We have helped 2,300 students to date but there are thousands more looking for support. They need our help!

Every dollar truly matters and any amount that you can donate will make a difference. Plus, all donations made until April 30 will be matched by Humber so your support will be doubled!

We are truly overwhelmed by the generosity of our Humber community to date, especially at a time like this. A big thank you to our very own IGNITE for immediately stepping up to support our students, and to all of you who have recently made donations to the SOS (Support our Students) Fund to help those most impacted by COVID-19. Together, we will make a difference!

For those of you who haven’t yet had a chance to make your donation, click here to donate today and make twice the impact for our students!

If you didn’t receive the email from Chris Whitaker this past Thursday, please check your junk email folder.
