Charity
Villanova works closely with numerous charities including Habitat For Humanity, the Scott Mission and the Good Shepherd Sisters. The school is also involved in various social outreach programs that minister to communities around the Greater Toronto Area. One of these programs, "Sandwich Patrol" was featured in the King Sentinel. Villanova also has an internal charitable organization named V.O.I.C.E (Villanova Outreach In Communities Everywhere), which organizes charitable fundraisers in the school community. Villanova has also hosted the "Muki Baum Bowl for Dreams" for 5 years (as of April 17, 2011), raising funds for the Muki Baum Foundation, a charitable organization that helps children and adults with dual disabilities in the Greater Toronto Area.

Famous quotes containing the word charity:
“Governments can err, Presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted in different scales. Better the occasional faults of a Government that lives in a spirit of charity than the constant omission of a Government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“With a smile of Christian charity great Casey’s visage shone;
He stilled the rising tumult, he made the game go on;”
—Ernest Lawrence Thayer (1863–1940)
