Opportunities for Kindness

Snack Assitance for Students in Need

We would appreciate any assistance in helping our families, who have a financial need, with snacks at school for their children. Some individually packaged snack options could include: applesauce cups, fruit cups, natural fruit leathers, pretzels, goldfish, Ritz crackers, or gronola bars. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in helping support our students this school year.

Recently Filled Needs

Rent Assistance

We're reaching out to support a compassionate aunt who has taken on the care of her two nephews, aged 12 and 14, both students at AW Schools. She recently underwent a hip replacement, and the unexpected expenses of adding two teenagers to her household have unfortunately caused her to fall behind on rent. To prevent her eviction, we urgently need to raise $502.00. AWnb is currently providing the family with food assistance and will help them connect with local food pantries next month. Your monetary donation would be deeply appreciated to help this family avoid homelessness.

Gas and Electric Support for Shut Off Notice

Please consider supporting an Anthony Wayne family avoid their utilities being shut off. This family has had some unexpected expenses come up and are unable to meet this month's financial needs. They are asking for support to get back on track. Thank you for your consideration.

Glasses Frame

A primary age boy is in need of a new glasses frame. He broke his current frame and has already used his Medicaid benefit for the year. The parent has saved the lenses, thus, only the frame is necessary for purchase. Please consider supporting this family by donating towards a new set of frames for this child.

Shoes for Primary School Student

Anthony Wayne Primary age student needs support in purchasing new shoes. This student has a wide foot, which makes finding appropriately fitting shoes challenging. Please consider supporting this student through the purchase of a Shoe Carnival Gift Card for $65.

Hot Water Heater for Mobile Home

An Anthony Wayne High School family is in need of a hot water heater for their home so that their high school student is able to access a shower in the home, instead of at the neighbor's . Please consider donating towards the purchase of this hot water heater specifically designed to fit in their mobile home (cost: $600). Thank you so much for your generosity.

Summer Enrichment Camps - Soccer

An Anthony Wayne family of four is looking to send their primary-age students to soccer camp at AW. Please consider supporting this family through contributing to camp fees, soccer gear, and a gas card to get them to and from camp.
Thank you so much for your support!
