My amazing group of Deaf 2nd graders has taken a special interest in helping people who are homeless this year. They have each donated a portion of their weekly classroom earnings (money they earn through our incentive program) to a fund to help a local shelter, but they now want to take it a step further, reaching out in a more personal way. With the funds you donate, our class will purchase items to fill care bags for homeless people in our community. They have already brainstormed a list of items they would like to put in the bags:

• socks
• hats
• gloves
• toothbrushes
• toothpaste
• handwarmers
• lip balm
• hand wipes
• wash cloth
• soap
• shampoo
• conditioner
• granola bars
• peanut butter crackers
• tuna kits
• bottled water

Students will shop for the items themselves, and we will purchase drawstring backpacks to hold the items and include personalized notes in each bag. We will then get in our school vans and deliver bags directly to people who are homeless who we see on the streets in our community. They are already extremely passionate about this project; they just need your help funding it! Thank you for considering making a donation!
