Why give?

  • 🏠

    Because stability changes everything

    More than 30 additional students were identified as homeless this year.

    Your gift helps provide safe transportation, housing support, and essentials that create stability where it’s needed most.

  • 🎓

    Because education should be within reach

    Rising costs mean many students delay or cancel college plans.

    Donations help cover driver’s-ed, BRCC, and application fees—opening doors to brighter futures.

  • 🧦

    Because basics aren’t optional

    Half of the students seen in the BHS Guidance Office this year needed help with food, clothing, or hygiene items.

    Your support fills those daily gaps so students can focus on learning, not survival.

  • 🚗

    Because access matters

    Getting to school or activities shouldn’t depend on luck.

    Funds help pay for transportation, field trips, and gas cards so every student can fully participate in school life.

  • 💳

    Because emergencies happen

    From groceries and utilities to urgent car or home repairs, life’s crises hit hardest for students without a safety net.

    Your donation provides quick, flexible aid through the McKinney-Vento Student Support Program.

  • 🤝

    Because belonging starts here

    When a community invests in its students, they feel seen, supported, and valued.

    Together, we’re building belonging—one act of generosity at a time.
