Rochester, NY Grades PreK-2

My Project

My school serves a community of students and families who are often put into impossible situations. The need for basic essentials in our community is extremely high. Some of our families struggle to provide basic clothing and hygiene for their children. We have families who encounter fires, moves and many hardships.

By supporting this campaign you can help us build this closet for our families.

By students getting their basic needs it helps them focus on their education instead of worrying about lacking basic needs!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
