Every Kid Deserves Basic Needs!

Funded Nov 30, 2023

I just want to start off with a simple thank you. Your support for children that you don't get to see daily or possibly don't even know is such an incredibly selfless, giving and kind action.

When all of the boxes of toiletries and snacks started arriving in my office, to say the kids arrived in droves, is an understatement. While some of us, including myself, take for granted things such as "name brand" deodorant or toothpaste or"name brand" snacks...these kids do not. We started making locker bags with toiletries that they can either take home or leave at school (or both).

Also, having the snacks in my office allows me the time to chat with some of our kids that need it the most. When they come see me and are able to sit and relax with something to eat, this is where the best relationships and trust are being built. That is when I can really find out how things are going at school and home which allows me to really dig in and help with some deeper areas of concern.

Thank you again so much for your support and selflessness.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Underwood
