HDSB Payroll Donations

HDSB staff are vital to ensuring that students succeed on their learning journey. When students lack food, clothing, and other basics, it is harder for them to focus on class. In partnership with HDSB staff, Halton Learning Foundation provides emergency support for students in need.

About 1 in 8 children live in low-income situations and families are struggling.

For over 2 decades, HDSB staff have requested financial support for students in need and HLF has always said "yes" to those requests. In the last school year, HLF supported 2,663 students with emergency needs.

You can help HLF continue to provide emergency relief for students by becoming a Barriers Buster. It's convenient and easy to set up a donation directly from your pay every payday, or just once if you prefer.

New or increased payroll donations started before October 31, 2026 will be matched by belairdirect on every pay for the next year. Your impact will be doubled.
