Donations can be dropped off in the main office of the high school or sent to the school to the attention of the social worker, Mrs. Barrett 1 Pirate Drive, Fairhope, AL 36532.

Items bought from the registry will be sent to the school social worker unless you choose a different delivery address. We greatly appreciate and thank you so much for helping this student stay warm this season!

size 7 underwear
size 6 long or 7 pants with buttons to tighten the waist
size 7-8 shirts

*Maybe a fun craft kit or board game as this child is in a safety plan and something fun to play with could lift her spirits.

Fairhope Family in need of beds


We have a family who has been living with relatives due to recent financial hardship and just now have the opportunity to get back on their feet with a home of their own. We are requesting 2 twin beds for the young teen daughters (frame, mattress, and bedding) to help them settle in.  Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for showing kindness to this family!

Scholarship Fund Drive


Every student has a dream.  For some that dream may feel a little farther away because of financial circumstances or challenges beyond their control.  We believe no student should have to give up on their hopes for a brighter future simply because they lack resources to move forward. 
 
Our scholarship program began with twelve 2026 graduates and we would like to continue the program.  Donations in any amount to our Scholarship Fund will be accepted through December 31, 2026. CLICK HERE  If you prefer, you may mail a check to P. O. Box 1948, Fairhope, AL 36533. Please designate your donation “Scholarship Fund”.  

When you give to this fund, you are providing more than financial support.  You are investing in a young person's dreams, confidence, and future.  You are saying, "We believe in you.  Your dreams matter.  Your future matters."
