ARPS Family Center needs donations for holidays

 Greetings from all of us at the ARPS Family Center!  We hope you and your families are doing well. It is that time of year in which we appeal for your help to support some of our students in need during the holiday season.  It is the case that many of our students and their families continue to face harsh realities related to loss of housing,  employment and physical/mental health issues due to the pandemic and life in general.  We are asking for donations for our McKinney Vento (Homeless Act) students and others experiencing significant challenges.  

As in past years, we continue to respond to requests for help with rental/ utilities assistance, food, warm clothing, personal items and other necessities from student's and their families in all of our schools. 

For the last three years, our drive to ask for donations has been successful thanks to all of you who contributed gifts and gift cards.  Gift cards continue to be the preferred donation and, ideally, we would collect $25 for each child in need, but you can choose to send any denomination gift card you wish. We recommend getting these from stores that offer an array of items, such as Target, Walmart, Marshall’s, T J Maxx, supermarkets or generic, Visa/MasterCard ones.  Gift cards can be sent to us via inter school (ARPS Family Center, Holiday Donations), they can be dropped off at our center in the Middle School or we can pick them up at your school. We will be collecting your donations until December 9, 2022 so we have enough time to deliver them and families can use them before the holidays, as they wish. 


Please call Mildred (362-1871) if you have any questions or wish to drop off your gift Cards at our Center or want us to pick them up at your school. Thanks, in advance, for your generosity and care.
