Difference for a Week

Posted 07.26.2009 in Programs

Difference for a Week: We provide cellular phones and plans,  mentors and provide care packages and other financial support to our college students.

We currently have 8 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.  Our generous sponsor, REAL DEAL FURNITURE, provides new beds.   We send CARE PACKAGES to our out of town students. The in-town students meet with mentors bi-monthly.

****NEW ************  It’s All About the Kids and EZ Learning are also providing FREE ONLINE Classes to our college students! This will help them get ahead while working full time.

WE HELP OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS SUCCEED!
