Opportunities for Kindness
Westerville North Family in Need of Bus Passes
We are seeking $100 in Visa gift cards to help a Westerville North student maintain reliable transportation to her job through the summer months. This student is a vital contributor to her household, using her earnings to help her mother pay the monthly rent.
She already has a COTA Smartcard, but needs these funds to reload her account so that she can get to and from work consistently until school starts again next year. Supporting this request will ensure she has uninterrupted transportation while continuing to provide essential financial support for her family.

Westerville North Family in Need of Gift Cards for Food/Supplies
A Westerville North family is currently in need of support as they are experiencing housing and resource challenges. At this time, multiple family members are doubling up due to a lack of adequate sleeping arrangements.
The family would greatly benefit from the donation of four twin-sized air mattresses to ensure each individual has a safe and comfortable place to sleep.
In addition, gift cards to Kroger or Walmart would provide essential assistance in purchasing food, hygiene products, and other daily necessities.
Any support would make a meaningful and immediate difference for this family during this time.
WCS Seniors in Need of Help with Fees
This time of year, graduating seniors have to pay off their school fees to be able to attend prom, go on the school Cedar Point trip and get their diploma. There are a huge variety of reasons why students accumulate fees over their high school years and much of it is due to financial strain. Would you consider donating to help these students finish their year strong? This support helps students focus on the positive parts of their senior year instead of feeling left out and stressed about money. Any amount helps and the students are so grateful!
