Noelle's Gift to Children
Noelle’s Gift to Children is an organization focused on supporting children in local communities. Established in 2014 in memory of Noelle Paquette a young school teacher that learned there were many students that required support to exceed daily. She would often bring school supplies and snacks into her classroom that brought a smile to students that came to school with little essentials to attend class. The foundation has assisted over 25,000 children annually since its founding. Its stated mission is to provide every child with opportunities for growth, emphasizing education, healthy development, and resilience. The organization's main areas of focus include supporting learning, nutrition, physical activity, and access to basic necessities that aid student success.
