Opportunities for Kindness

English Learner students at Westerville Central in need of old magazines


Please consider donating your old magazines to Westerville Central! This is one of the many ways that teachers help students learning English as a second-language advance their knowledge and skills. Students cut out letters and words from magazines as a hands-on way to learn the language. 

Items can be dropped off at our regular drop off locations or Westerville Central High School.

Emergency Root Canal Needed for Westerville Student


The Westerville high school student is in desperate need of a root canal. The family has been saving and has explored different insurance options, but they have not been able to afford the procedure. Any assistance would be deeply appreciated and would help relieve both the student’s significant pain and the family’s financial burden. The surgery is $768 and there will be additional cost for the crown. 

Classroom Supplies and Life Skills Trips for WNHS Special Education

We are requesting a total of $500 to support three special education classrooms at Westerville North High School. These funds will be divided among the classrooms to purchase essential daily instructional supplies and cover community-based field trips where students practice vital real-world life skills. Your generous support directly helps our students gain independence, practical experience, and essential tools for success.

Help Westerville Students Succeed: Devices Needed


We’re reaching out for local students who currently do not have access to a computer or reliable way to complete digital assignments at home. As so much of today’s learning depends on online platforms, this lack of access is making it difficult for them to keep up with schoolwork and fully engage in their education. These students are motivated and want to succeed- they just need the tools to do so. Your support can directly impact their ability to learn, grow, and stay on track academically. We’re hoping to find 7 donated laptops or Chromebooks to help bridge this gap and make a meaningful difference. Monetary donations can also be to help purchase devices.
