FRESH START
​
​
Prior to the start of each school year, the Family Resource Center reaches out to their identified McKinney-Vento students to ensure these students have all items needed to start off school on the right foot. This includes providing students with a backpack, school supplies, shoes, socks, underwear, hygiene kits (small bags with basic items like shampoo, toothbrush and paste, etc.) and other items, as avaliable.
HOLIDAY "Adopt N Shop"
​
​
Around December each year the Family Resource Center identifies families who are in need and meet the criteria to participant in a holiday "Adopt N Shop" program. All donations for this event come from staff and local donors.
HEART N' SOLE
​​
​
Each year around February, the Family Resource Center identifies children and youth in need of new shoes and socks. This event is co-hosted at the FRC in partnership with the local Kiwanas Club.
SENIOR DREAMS
​
​
Costs for our 12th grade Senior activities can be expensive for many of our McKinney-Vento students. To assist these students, each year the Family Resource Center identifies several McKinney-Vento students to receive assistance to help pay for Senior activities. These activities could include paying for Senior pictures, Prom Night Tickets, Yearbooks, and/or Grad Night Tickets.
