As part of our commitment to not only educate but also make a real world impact, we are channeling our energy and resources into a cause that touches the lives of many in our community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In debates, we explore topics like poverty, welfare, and social services. These discussions are crucial for developing critical thinking and empathy. However, for some members of our community, these issues are daily realities, not just subjects for intellectual discourse. Recognizing this, VDA is launching a food drive campaign this holiday season. We invite our staff, students and families to contribute non-perishable food items, creating a collective effort to support the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. This initiative is an opportunity for us to transform our understanding of social issues into concrete actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the holiday season often centers around festivities and gifts, this year, we\u2019re focusing on the essence of giving and sharing. It\u2019s a time to think about those in our community who are struggling and to offer support in any way we can. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Therefore we ask that you:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Donate: Your donations of non-perishable food are invaluable.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spread the Word: Help us spread the word about this campaign on social media.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Winter Food Drive is more than just an event; it&#8217;s a manifestation of our values and a reflection of our commitment to the community. By participating, we are not only giving back but also enriching our own understanding of the societal issues we discuss in our debates.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This holiday se &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":157313,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"table_tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Holiday Season VDA Winter Food Drive - Help Us Feed the Hungry - Vancouver Debate Academy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Vancouver Debate Academy is an internationally recognized private institution that offers debate and public speaking training to students from Grade 4 to 12 in Canada and abroad.
