After speaking with some families and seeing the need, I decided I am starting a small fundraiser to support our Spring Creek elementary schools by helping cover unpaid lunch balances for local kids. This is NOT a fundraiser organized, requested, or directed by the schools. It is a personal, community-led effort.
Our schools do an incredible job serving students every day and many of the teachers, admin and PTA do a TON to support all the youth financially. This is simply a community effort to come alongside families who may be going through a tight season and make sure kids don’t have to think about lunch accounts at school. I don’t want any child worrying about money or feeling embarrassed in the lunch line!
I’ve set a goal of $2,050, and we’ll be raising funds through March 31st. All funds will go for this cause completely.
When the fundraiser closes, I’ll post confirmation showing exactly what was paid to the schools so everyone can see where the money went.
I’m beginning with the elementary schools here in Spring Creek, and if there’s additional need and community support, I’d love to expand this to the middle and high school as well but have not explored that at all yet.
If this is something you’d like to be part of, you can donate here. Every bit helps. Let’s take care of our kids.
