Anonymous Donors Give 86 Winter Coats!!

A wonderful woman and her husband brought in 86 winter coats yesterday, most of which have matching snowpants, to the district office along with two large bags of socks and underwear.

Although they've asked that we not give them recognition publicly, we were there to accept the donations and give out hugs and handshakes for their generous gift.

These coats will not only go to homeless students, but to other students in the district that are in great need of winter gear.

Many thanks to this husband and wife for their kindness!

Running For Charity

The ECASD Homeless Program was fortunate to receive a big donation of school supplies purchased with the generous donations for a woman with a cause... or twelve?

Sarah Newcomb runs a 5K every day to raise money for a different charity each month, and she has vowed to do this for 12 months! She chose the ECASD Homeless Program as the charity recipients for August, and many vital items were purchased for the program with the money she raised.

Thank you to Sarah for all her hard work and to the generous donors who give to her cause!
