The Children’s Aid Foundation of Halton (CAFH) was founded in 1990 as a non-profit, charitable organization to raise funds for the children being cared for by the Halton Children's Aid Society (HCAS). Funds raised allow the HCAS to provide children with additional services that enhance the lives of abused and neglected children living in Halton.
The HCAS receives basic funding from the provincial and regional governments to provide food and shelter to the children in its care. In Halton, approximately 1,200 protection cases result in an average of 240 children being in care at any one time.
The Foundation’s Mission:
“The Children’s Aid Foundation of Halton, through fundraising and community partnerships, enriches the lives of children in need today, enabling them to reach for tomorrow”.
Our Objectives:
The CAFH supports programs that directly enrich and enhance the lives of children in need and assist in the increase of prevention activity.
