Each day, hundreds of students classified as homeless head to classrooms throughout our nation. They might be kids in shelters, sleeping in motels or staying at someone else’s house. Many more cannot afford the things other students might take for granted; personal hygiene products – deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap and much more!
We decided we wanted to do something to help. With many volunteers, and generous donors, we started collecting essentials and donating them to the students through their schools.
We need all the help we can get and you can help in the following ways!
We have several convenient locations where you can easily drop off items of need.
