ADOPT-A-SCHOOL PROGRAM
About Our Program
Our Adopt-a-School program targets Title I schools in Broward and Miami-Dade County by assisting students and teachers with classroom essentials, school uniforms and supplies.
This program helps by partnering with targeted schools and supplying them with the essential resources they need, such as school uniforms, undergarments, school supplies, hygiene products and in some cases, non-perishable food.
By giving families access to essentials they need to allow children to be successful in school, we hope to help combat the cycle of poverty by putting much needed resources into the hands of those that need it and into the hands of those that can assist them.
Our program will help reduce stress levels that are associated with the uncertainty of living in poverty. By providing families with essentials that equip their children with the resources they need to succeed, our program will steer youth in a positive and more confident direction.
