Project Title: Delivering Hope
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
In Delivering Hope, each week, we will deliver 12 filled shopping carts of high quality, age appropriate, basic, core school supplies, brand new books and personal care health\/hygiene products (soap, shampoo, tissues, toothbrush, toothpaste) to schools in the Buffalo Public Schools District where 50% of youth live in poverty. We will provide tools to help low income students achieve success. We call this project Delivering Hope because it evens the playing field for students so they all have the proper resources that position them for success. The value of supplies and resources in the 12 shopping carts for each school is $12,000 per school. In a year, we provide $624,000 worth of school supplies.
\nThis year, the average cost of school supplies was over $700\u2014 a 40% increase since 2019.
\nThis project targets low income City of Buffalo students, 50% who live in poverty with families struggling to survive. They cannot access the appropriate resources and supplies for school because many parents can\u2019t afford basic essentials like food and clothing, leaving youth at an academic advantage. Kids cannot receive a proper education without the right resources.
\nResearch shows that students prepared for school achieve stronger outcomes. They benefit academically and psychologically; their performance and their self esteem are improved, facilitating better learning engaging youth in their learning, encouraging ongoing, lifelong learning.
\nIn the past few years, we have also addressed new needs as we heard about hygiene issues from teachers. This plays a very important yet much overlooked role in education. 70% of teachers report hygiene poverty–from body odor to unbrushed teeth–has worsened since the pandemic. Hygiene poverty negatively affects childhood development, learning, social interaction and physical and mental health. Providing hygiene products improves physical and mental health, increases confidence\/self-esteem and reduces bullying and skipping school.\n<\/p>\n
