We are asking the community for monetary donations or in-kind donations in the form of gift cards and other most requested items.

We would like to receive donations by Dec. 13th, 2021 (although donations can be accepted after the date) so that we can process and provide to families prior to the holidays. Our goal is to provide support for 850 students within approximately 300 families
