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

Our students need to know that their basic needs are met before they can focus on the task of learning. These supplies (period products, deodorant, Chapstick, hats, gloves, and tissues) will help our students feel cared for and comfortable.

Please help us fill our Care Closet with much needed personal care items.

Our Title 1 school has students who need a bit of extra support. Your generous donation will enable our students and teachers to focus on the important work of learning. Our Care Closet helps provide much needed supplies to our hard-working and amazing students.
