What schools can do:

 Be Informed

Come visit one of our shelters. Or invite us to visit you. We will come to speak to a class, an assembly, an office or any type of meeting. Call Alicia at 609-989-9417 ext 133 to set it up!

Please check our resources page for more information on family homelessness.
