There are two schools in our neighborhood, Cunningham and Ben Milam. We respond to them in several ways. We provide Thanksgiving food baskets to families identified by the school councilors. Giving gift cards at Christmas has been a rewarding experience. The councilors or teachers take selected students shopping to buy gifts for their family. One year a student had to be convinced to buy a gift for himself as well as gifts for his family.
We have also provided clothing such as coats and underwear for students who have "accidents" during the day.
