Hunger and food insecurity are impacting some of our NWSA students and their families due to Covid related issues. Shelters and food banks are overrun, and there is a greater need than supply. Some of our families in need have exhausted their resources and have overdue utility bills.

OUR GOAL IS $13,500

100% of your donation will go directly to purchase grocery store gift cards, pay overdue utilities, and other gift cards for some who are in need of clothes and other personal essentials.

The Friends of Northwest PTO Board has been working closely with NWSA counselors and we've identified a great need to help several NWSA students and their immediate families who have been hit the hardest by the pandemic. The need is urgent and our goal is more than we've ever raised for one campaign before, but we are committed to this challenge.
