Sponsor a Classroom

During our recent Backpacks for Kids Drive we worked with School #2 in Passaic and we have decided to debut our "Sponsor a Classroom"- Winter Wishes Drive at the school.  By offering continued support to a target population, measurable change can be seen.  We want children to see the commitment we're making and feel empowered and supported to do their best. Each child will fill out a gift tag stating their name, coat size, favorite color and a holiday wish.  Participants will receive the wishes of the sponsored classroom and a toolkit to get started.  We do ask that all items remain unwrapped.
