We work to bring the community, local agencies, services, organizations, businesses, places of worship, individuals, teachers, administrators, union members and leader, & investors to the students. We all have the same mission in mind. To help students become successful, productive and engaged healthy citizens!

“I was making the decision to pay my electric or buy extra food because we weren’t making it to the end of the month – and I work a good job.
