It Takes A Village
Our Story
As members of the Wayne Highlands School District community, we identified a unique nonprofit organization was desperately needed. Our organization was born through direct connections within our community.
School counselors, throughout our district, were quickly uncovering that community members had a unique need to acquire resources that were often only available through time. We observed an increase in families struggling to get basic needs met while waiting for better solutions for their family. Although prevalent in our great community, at times resources require time to be acquired. The counselors recognized some needs simply must be met FAST.
Immediate needs were often put by the wayside as families struggled to keep food in their homes, acquire proper clothing, shoes, or gas money for transportation to and from mental health or doctor appointments. Overdue utility bills, home repairs and vehicle maintenance are often not deemed a priority. Students are impacted and so were our hearts. How do you learn and thrive when your basic needs aren’t being met? It was evident that providing for our families would take a village.
