Care to Learn - Cape Girardeau

Care to Learn - Cape Girardeau The Care to Learn - Cape Girardeau Chapter is in partnership with the
Cape Girardeau School District.

Each year, almost a million kids go to school in the state of Missouri. While most families are able to stock up on essential health, hunger and hygiene items, some will have a much harder time making ends meet. When basic needs go unmet student cannot focus on learning. Care to Learn empowers school staff and faculty to respond immediately. They are taught how to identify student needs which help

keep administrative cost low. Students needs are met anonymously and immediately to maintain their dignity by utilizing local community resources. You can help kids in our communities have the resources they need to have a successful school year. With your generosity, they can have the ability to learn just like their friends.

Since Lacie Clark joined the Care to Learn Board of Directors in July 2020, she has seen Care to Learn grow by leaps and bounds. Here, she shares her heart for our mission and the joy she feels when seeing it in action across Missouri.

CTL: “What does Care to Learn’s mission of meeting health, hunger, and hygiene needs mean to you?”

Lacie: "I love both the mission and how we live it out — there is truly no red tape. Care to Learn means nothing stands between a child and what they need today. It’s about showing up immediately so a kid isn’t distracted by hunger, illness, or feeling out of place; they can simply walk into class and just be one of the kids. At the heart of everything we do is dignity.

For me, hunger is the area that hits me hardest. A child who’s worrying about their next meal can’t focus on school or dare to dream about their future. When we quietly fill that gap, we’re not just handing over food, we’re handing back dignity and possibility."
