Emergency Fund  $2,500

Several of the 510 students at M.B. Sanford face daily and complex challenges – lack of food, no transportation, no consistent home base, inability to cover extra costs like school supplies, extra-curricular activities, school social events and the like. The Emergency Fund will cover the costs of food, clothes, transportation, school supplies and extracurricular costs when there is no other way to provide these items to the students. Providing these basic essentials to our most vulnerable youth is an enormous need in our large geographical district as it makes them feel safe, and allows them to thrive in the classroom.
