My Project

At our Academy, a few teachers have informed the Social Work Team that many students are coming to school without underwear and socks on. This information has made us want to help our students so they may have a more comfortable day at school. We would like to provide our students in need new underwear and socks to solve this problem. Our amazing teachers have been buying these items on their own and we do not want to put this on them any longer. This is why I am asking the DonorsChoose Community to help us provide these items.
