Back to School Fair Gives Kids the Tools for Success
We are beyond grateful for our community's generosity, which made our Back to School Fair a memorable event for the 250+ formerly homeless children and their families who have a stable home in our permanent supportive housing programs!
The children enjoyed selecting their own backpacks and lunchboxes and spent the afternoon having a blast doing fun activities and picking out books from our library. This event means so much to our young clients and their families. Watch the video above to see how MCCH staff and volunteers helped them celebrate and prepare for a new school year!
We are blown away by the creativity and generosity of our community! Dorian celebrated his first birthday by collecting school supplies in lieu of gifts at his birthday party. These items went directly to the children we serve at our Back to School Fair!
If you'd like to celebrate a birthday or event with a donation drive for MCCH, visit our
Donate Items page to learn what items we need most urgently or contact volunteer@mcch.net for more information.
In our Urgent Needs Facebook Group, generous community members provide urgently needed items to MCCH clients. Many of these donations may seem small in the long run, but they can have a powerful impact.
In August, o
ur Urgent Needs Task Force group provided over 25 items, including baby supplies and household items. Although it may seem like a small gesture, donating these items shows our clients that their community cares about them. When recovering from the trauma of homelessness, that reminder can be a glimmer of light in the darkness.
