My Project

The students at MVHS are resilient, clever and determined. Despite the wonderful programs and funding, there is just not enough support for our district. RSU3 is disproportionately affected by poverty and your donation would allow us to supplement the gaps that we are noticing. With your donations, our students could focus on school work and relationship building rather than wondering where their next meal is coming from. The care closet in particular was created and expanded to address those gaps. Within the closet, we have snacks, hygiene products, hair accessories, self care items, and other basic necessities (although the food goes the fastest). Thank you for your time and donation!
