Recently Filled Needs

Please help provide grocery relief for family with children

Could you please donate a gift card for groceries to help one of our UA neighbors? A single parent who has recently experienced unemployment could use assistance with covering the cost of groceries while trying to stabilize. The household includes an elementary student and one parent. Gift cards to Kroger, Aldi, or Giant Eagle would be so helpful! Gift cards can be delivered to Wickliffe Progressive School - Attn: School Counselor. Thank you so much!

Family leaving traumatic situation needs support.

A single-parent household with three children recently established independence after leaving a traumatic situation. The family needs a lot of support to get back on their feet. It would be extremely helpful if we could support by offering grocery and gas cards. Because of the cost of food and gas, Kroger gift cards would be ideal so that funds stretch farther without using too much gasoline in transit.
