The Anglican Foundation of Canada (AFC) has awarded $6,000 to a homework club for kids in downtown Toronto as part of its fall 2020 grant cycle.
St. Jamestown Homework Club is a collaboration between three Toronto churches: Rosedale Presbyterian Church, St. Peter and St. Simon-the-Apostle Anglican Church and St. Andrew’s United Church. It has been running out of St. Peter and St. Simon on Bloor St. East for the past 11 years.
The club is staffed by volunteers who pick up the students from nearby Rose Avenue Public School and Our Lady of Lourdes, a Catholic school. The students play games—outside, if the weather is nice—then spend time doing homework with the help of the volunteers.
