Opportunities for Kindness

Food and Gas Gift Card Drive


Looking to support high school students with gas and food gift cards. Food gift cards could be for places close to Mount Carmel East or quick stop restaurants through June. Gift cards can be dropped off to the district or high school offices. Thank you for your generosity and help!

MS/HS book fair donations


We’re reaching out to our wonderful community for a small but meaningful act of kindness! Our middle school and high school students are excited about the current book fair, but not all of them have the means to purchase a book.
We’re kindly asking for small donations — between $5 and $10 — to help make sure every student has the opportunity to choose a book that sparks their imagination and encourages a lifelong love of reading.
Every dollar counts, and your generosity will put books directly into the hands of students who will cherish them.
If you’re able to contribute, please follow the link: 
Thank you for helping us turn pages into possibilities!

Outdoor Education Camp Supplies


As we prepare for an elementary outdoor camp experience, we want to ensure that every student feels supported, comfortable, and ready to fully enjoy this opportunity.

Furnace Repair


We have a family with a broken furnace currently.  They are using a kerosene heater to warm the house until the furnace can be repaired.  If there is anyone in our community that would be willing to diagnose or fix the furnace problem, that would be wonderful and a long term fix for the family.   It would be greatly appreciated!

Kids gloves needed!


We have a need for 8-10 pairs of gloves for elementary aged kids between the ages of 6-12.   We need gloves for both girls and boys.   Thank you so much in advance for your generosity and kindness you consistently show in this community.   

opportunity for kids in need to shop at SECRET SANTA SHOP


Our amazing PTO has set up an incredible secret Santa shop so that the children of our school have an opportunity to shop for their loved ones.    The gifts are actually very nice quality and the parent volunteers help the children shop and wrap the items so the children can surprise their family members on Christmas day.    As you can imagine some families do not have the extra funds available in their budget to allow their children to shop.   If you are able to donate $5-$10, the PTO, the social worker and counselor can work together to ensure every child that would like to shop gets the opportunity to shop.   Thank you in advance for your continued generosity!
