Difference for a Week
Difference for a Week: We provide cellular phones, volunteers to call and provide care packages and other financial support to our college students.
We currently have 14 students in college that we support! We provide them with a cellphone and service, school supplies, books, bus/trolley passes and other financial needs throughout the year. When the students move into dorms or apartments, we take them shopping for bedding, towels and other necessities. We send CARE PACKAGES to our out of town students. The in-town students meet with mentors bi-monthly.
