How The White Cane Foundation Works
- We partner with schools where the majority of students live at or below the poverty line.
- A school liaison is selected to help identify students in need and submit weekly orders to The White Cane Foundation.
- Volunteers fill orders and make weekly deliveries to specific schools.
- Volunteers meet one-on-one with students in The White Cane Foundation “store”, a designed space in every school that helps to preserve each child’s privacy and dignity and also contains items for emergency situations.
- Students are fit with coats and shoes, provided hygiene kits, socks, underwear; are encouraged, loved on and transformed.
Your support will help us provide clothing and hygiene kits for children in need.
