Now that we’ve all been safe-at-home for over a month, we’ve seen many of our partners come up with creative and amazing strategies and initiatives to support their communities. Our local partners like Bright Star Schools, KIPP SoCal, Equitas, HOLA, and Green Dot Public Schools have equipped many of their underserved students with internet and laptops through generous donations and served to-go meals to students who normally rely on school, with HOLA extending this offer to parents in need.
Other partners of ours have taken to the street to help out those who might not be able to stay home, like LACAN’s installation of handwashing stations throughout skid row. It’s been amazing to see just how innovative everyone has been at this.
While our partners have been making strides to help their students and the community, they can use your help too!
