Warm Winter Wishes

Each year, the Westside Secondary School community comes together with the generous support of local residents and businesses to make the holidays a little brighter for families in need. For over a decade, this initiative has reflected the kindness and compassion that define Orangeville. Last year alone, the program provided meaningful assistance to more than 40 families. Donations were used to purchase gift cards for essentials such as food, clothing, and household necessities—all from local businesses, helping both families and the community. This year, Westside once again invites contributions of any amount to support local families. Donations over $20 are eligible for a tax receipt through the Upper Grand Learning Foundation. Please direct the funds to Westside Warm Winter Wishes. Contributions can also be made via Cash Online, if you have a Westside student or dropped off at the Main Office or Student Services. Your generosity truly makes a difference. Together, we can ensure that every student and family at Westside feels the warmth of community care during the holiday season.
