Our local schools are being asked to address more needs than ever. Beyond educating children, schools provide supplemental food, clothing, transportation, assistance to parents, and mentoring for at-risk children. We want to partner with area schools and educators to meet some of these needs with a specific focus on providing mentors or reading buddies and meeting food needs.
