Community Aid: food, water, health & homes

When a family lacks food, safe water or medical care, children can't learn. We step in.

Community Aid helps families through medical emergencies, natural disasters, loss of income and food insecurity. Gifts can be designated for a specific family or given to the general emergency fund.

Holiday food baskets

Six times a year (Valentine's Day, Holy Week, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas) families receive a basket of traditional food to share. At Christmas it includes everything to make tamales.

$76 feeds a family of 6–8 for several meals.
