Olivia Jollota Memorial Trust family and volunteers wish you a very Happy New Year and all the best in 2025!
Thank you for your continued support over the last 10 years – none of this is possible without your donations, following our social media, coming to our events and sharing our work – we are beyond grateful.
We know 2025 will bring “great things!” We are already planning fundraising events and ways to give back to the community that Olivia would approve of 💜
Wishing a very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate 🎄 we hope you get to spend time with the ones you love and keep those missing in your hearts.
We are so grateful for the support of our family and friends – both old and new. You have this a memorable year and we thank each and every one of you.
Christmas may be tomorrow, but we are already planning for next year. So, if you happen to receive a gift you can’t use or are lucky enough to receive too much, consider donating your items to us for our Free Market event next December. We will be collecting items all year long and will provide more details in 2025
Thank you again from Olivia’s Trust 🎄
Our first ever online fundraising auction is live! Let’s make this a success by sharing and bidding generously. The auction will run until Sunday, December 1 at 7 pm.
There are over 100 great items up for grabs. This is a fantastic way to kickstart your holiday shopping. If you are the successful bidder it’s a win-win, you get your item and we get to continue to help Olivia do “great things!” like our recent $1,000.00 donation to the Santa’s for Seniors program 🎄

Please help us congratulate the 2024 Olivia Jollota Memorial Trust Scholarship recipients:
Rihana Hamilton
Rylee Wallace
Faith Whitehead
Faith, Rylee and Rihana submitted essays that prove they make their schools and communities a better place through their volunteer work and dedication to make their environments more inclusive and accepting. Their compassion and kindness is obvious in their words and actions. They also took the time to learn about Olivia, which means the world to us.
We truly hope your scholarship helps you on the next step of your journey as you complete your studies. We wish you all the success in your future endeavours.
Thank you for what you have already done and no doubt will continue to do. We hope you take your lessons with you and share them with others.

Thank you to everyone who has made 2023 so memorable. We truly appreciate the kindness, encouragement and support we receive from our family, friends and supporters.
We wish you joy, happiness, health and peace in the New Year!
We look forward to continuing our mission of helping Olivia do “great things” in 2024 as we continue to help animals, our youth and those less fortunate in 2024 💥
As some of you know, Olivia loved school and especially loved shopping for schools supplies. Since we know how difficult this time of year can be for families who are already stretched thin with the rising costs of every day life, we can think of no better way than to help those families by donating supplies to take some of that burden from them.
Olivia’s Trust is thrilled to once again donate back-to-school supplies! We have been doing this every year since we began and this time we have donated $725 worth of supplies for all age levels and grades (special thank you to our supporters who donated specifically for this endeavour) 🙂
We want to wish all the kids heading back to school in the next few days a wonderful year of learning, enrichment and of course, fun 🙂
The most wonderful time of the year is here as kids are heading back to school in a few weeks. However, for many families this is a very stressful and expensive time of year as well.
With the cost of every day life seemingly rising by the minute, we know the added stress of getting all the necessary back to school items may be out of reach. That’s where we aim to help out 🙂
If you are shopping and can afford to grab an item or two, please do so. Your simple act of kindness will benefit a student going back to school in September and possibly ease the burden on some families in your community.
The Olivia Jollota Memorial Trust, with the support of Tim Halman, MLA Dartmouth East will be a accepting donations at the Dartmouth East Constituency office at 73 Tacoma Drive (Suite 204). We can also accept donations at Jym Line Glassware Ltd. located at 23 Venture Crescent in Elmsdale or you can reach out to Dale via email (dale@livstrust.com) to make alternate arrangements.
Any donation is welcome and needed. If you cannot get out to purchase school supplies, consider a donation to Olivia’s Trust and let us do the shopping for you.
Let’s make this year amazing for our students 😊
