A few reflections of 2025

As we begin 2026 we can’t help but think back to all the “great things!” done in memory of our Olivia 💜

Along with donations to community groups we provided 3 post-secondary scholarships to wonderful individuals destined to do their own great things.

Our annual silent auction and bowling event was a huge success. This fun-filled evening celebrates all the things Olivia loved – bowling, laughing with friends, spending money and eating tons of yummy snacks! This event enabled us to even more “great things!” for Olivia!

As always, wedonated back to school supplies and held our first ever Free Family Market which turned out to be even more than we could have imagined- this event more than anything else we have done over the last 10 years embodied Olivia, her compassion, kindness and empathy for others in need 💜. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

We want to thank everyone who donated, supported us through our fundraising and most of all volunteered at our events. We could not do this without your support – thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💜

We look forward to seeing what 2026 will bring us as we welcome it with open hearts and most of all, gratitude.

School supplies aplenty 📓📚📐📖

What does over $1,000 worth of school supplies looks like? Check out the images below 👇

Each year the need grows and we recognize that. These supplies are all destined to reach kids in our community who will most benefit – and we couldn’t be happier to be able to provide this donation on behalf of Olivia’s Trust.

Olivia would be thrilled 🤩

Back-To-School Supply Drive 2025

It’s hard to believe it’s that time of year, but here we are and there are many, many families struggling to afford back-to-school supplies for their kids. This is where we, as a community can step up to help those that need it 😊

Once again we are partnering with Tim Halman’s office (MLA for Dartmouth East) to collect and distribute these much needed school supplies. Olivia’s Trust will be buying items that are most needed and sought after to fill any gaps in the donations.

If you are out and about shopping or picking up school supplies and have the means to add a few extra items, you can donate those items to us for distribution to those in need.

You can drop off donations to Tim’s office at 99 Main Street in Dartmouth or at Jym Line Glassware at 23 Venture Crescent in Elmsdale. If you are unable to travel to donate, reach out to us on Facebook or by email (dale@livstrust.com) or call 902-880-6848 and we can make arrangements for a volunteer to come pick up your donation.

Let’s make the 2025-2026 school year memorable for our kids in all the best ways possible 🙂
