This is a repost of a need. The most pressing need right now is Rent and Power assistance. Please help with any amount - it will be most appreciated!

A local parent with three children is experiencing significant financial hardship and is working hard to regain stability. The parent is currently without full-time employment and is utilizing delivery and rideshare work to provide income while continuing to seek a position that works with the family's childcare and school transportation needs.

Several essential household bills have fallen behind, and assistance with any of the following would provide immediate relief for this family:

• Rent: $1,452.00
• Power bill: $1500.00

Any assistance toward these essential expenses would make a meaningful difference and help provide some stability for this family and their children during a difficult season.

Thank you for considering supporting this family!

A family in our district is currently experiencing financial hardship and could use some support catching up on essential household bills. The family shared that it has been quite some time since they have found themselves in a situation like this and would be incredibly grateful for any assistance.

Any amount of support toward these bills would be a tremendous help to this family as they work to get back on their feet. Thank you for continuing to care for and support families in our community!

A local single mother with children is currently experiencing challenges related to a medical condition that prevents her from driving. At times, her condition also makes it difficult for her to leave home to purchase groceries, meals, and other necessities for her family.

We are seeking gift cards to help the family access groceries and meal delivery during times when the mother’s medical condition makes these everyday tasks especially difficult.

Gift cards for DoorDash, Instacart, Walmart, Target, or grocery stores with delivery options would be especially helpful and would allow the mother the flexibility to order what her family needs when she is unable to get out.

The family’s greatest need right now is having a reliable way to access food and essential household items without transportation becoming an additional barrier.

Any amount would make a meaningful difference in helping this mother continue to care for her family during a challenging time. Please mark the gift cards with School #7.

Thank you for considering supporting this family!

A child in our district is in need of soccer gear for the upcoming season...and because of your kindness and generosity, all he needs now is cleats! New cleats would be especially appreciated, as athletic gear can experience a lot of wear and tear. If new cleats aren’t possible, very gently used, like-new would also be welcome. 

Thank you for helping make it possible for this child to participate in a sport they enjoy and feel prepared and confident for the season.

Please mark all donations with School #6. Thank you so much for showing and sharing kindness!
