Celebrating 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
I’m reaching out on behalf of middle school, where we proudly serve a resilient and hardworking group of students—all from low-income households—who are striving to succeed despite daily challenges. Many of our students arrive at school without basic clothing essentials. These barriers often impact their comfort, confidence, and ability to focus in class.
Our goal with this project is to ensure that every student has access to clean, well-fitting, and weather-appropriate clothing so they feel safe, confident, and comfortable while at school.
By providing these essentials, we aim to reduce barriers to attendance and learning, boost self-esteem, support families facing financial challenges, and foster an inclusive environment where every child feels valued and ready to succeed.
Your support can make a powerful difference in a child's day—and their future. By providing clothing, you're not just meeting a physical need; you're helping a student walk into school with dignity and hope. Thank you for considering this meaningful way to support our students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
