At the heart of the campaign, is to offer hope and resources to make a difference for the families served by the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Society. The Foundation and the Society are working hand in hand to provide opportunities for families to achieve their goals and overcome their challenges. Families know best what they need, we are here to help.” Cheryl Sprague, President of the Board of Directors of the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation, adds, “I call on our community to embrace this campaign.
