Opportunities for Kindness
Family in need of food assistance
This month has brought unexpected challenges for one of our families, as both mom and her son have undergone surgeries within a short time. With recovery limiting their ability to work and manage daily tasks, they are currently facing difficulty keeping food on the table. The family has the ability to get to the grocery store, so grocery gift cards would make a meaningful difference as they focus on healing.
Westerville North Senior Needs Help with School Fees
I have a Senior that is in need of schools fees totaling $475.34. These include previous unpaid school fees, outstanding balance in Food Service, and is in need to take AP testing but the amount needs to be paid before he can take the test. This student works very hard here at North and is always willing to be a part of student activities. His mother is in financial help and can not get him caught up in his school fees.
Three Classroom Teachers at Westerville North Are Requesting Funds for Community Based Outings for Students with Severe and Multiple Disabilities
Three Classroom Teachers who work with the students with the most severe and multiple disabilities are asking for donations to assist with community based outings to help strengthen real-world skills in authentic settings. The teachers do not really get funding from the district and have to rely on parent/guardian donation. Many of the families are unable to afford making the donation, so the teachers end up covering many of the student expenses with their own money. We are asking for donations of $150 for each of the 3 rooms for a total of $450, but anything can help.
Westerville North Student Needs Assistance with Paying for Driving School
Student needs assistance with paying for driving school. WNHS has worked a discount out with one of the driving schools in the area so that a student pays only $400 for online class and in-cars. We are asking for help with this amount.

Westerville Snow Patrol - Volunteers Needed!
Leadership Westerville is seeking Westerville Snow Patrol volunteers for the 2025-2026 snow season.
The Westerville Snow Patrol Program pairs older residents and residents with disabilities with nearby neighbors who volunteer to assist them with snow removal on their sidewalks, walkways, and driveways. Along with fostering stronger community relationships and alleviating some of the stress that comes with a snowfall or freeze, The Snow Patrol makes our sidewalks safer for everyone. Once paired with a resident, volunteers are responsible for clearing their driveway and sidewalks within 24 hours of a 'snow event.'
Sign up at https://www.leadershipwesterville.com/snow-patrol.html.
Thank you for being such a great neighbor!
