Currently, there are 30,000 school children in NYC that have been displaced from their schools due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy. These students are without school supplies or books as they travel to new schools to continue their education.

We are working with NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn, along with NYC City Council and the United Federation of Teachers, to raise funds immediately to provide backpacks filled with necessary school supplies and books to these children. The backpacks are approximately $20/student. We have a prioritized list of schools where the resources are needed most to make sure we are targeting the neediest most immediately.

Our goal is to send at least 1000 backpacks to these schools. Your help in either sponsoring a specific number of backpacks or your help in introducing us to others who might be willing to sponsor would be enormously appreciated. You can donate right here!!
