My Project

I am a school social worker at Pioneer Ridge Middle School in Independence, MO. who needs hygiene items and underwear for students when they are at school. Recently I had a student in need of underwear and deodorant and I realized I had run out, there is nothing worse for a middle schooler than not having what they need for hygiene. While I can obtain many items through the community, some things are a bit more difficult to get our hands on. I would truly appreciate any support and I know that our students would too.
