Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help me give my students essential hygiene and clothing supplies like shampoo, body wash, toothbrush kits, socks, sweatshirts, and joggers. Over 95% of our 700 students come from low-income families, many facing housing instability and limited access to basic necessities. These items will be provided through our new César Chávez Community Center and distributed discreetly to students in need. Providing these supplies will help students feel comfortable, confident, and ready to learn each day. Your support shows them they are cared for, valued, and never alone in their journey.
