Helping children stay warm with essential winter items.
At Everyone Matters Inc, our mission is to ensure that every child has access to essential winter gear. We believe that no child should be left out in the cold during recess due to lack of proper clothing.
My kids started school and came home with a note saying "Essential 5" Hat, Coat, Gloves, Snow pants and gloves. If they do not have all 5 then the child is forced to stay on the sidewalk during recess. I felt like this was a terrible thing as it was highly probable that the kids having to do this may be less fortunate and not have these things, which shouldn't be their fault. So, I decided to reach out anonymously asking what kids needed. We never know what student we are helping, just what grade and teacher. These teachers who request are amazing and are the ones who are owed the THANK YOU for watching out for these kids!
Most schools have a closet and or cupboard that they stock with known supplies for teachers and students who need items. This can range from school supplies, clothing items, snacks and hygiene products. Many are not aware of this and this is another way to donate and check in with the school district of your choice. We spread the word about this as many people are unaware.
We also work with school nurse's to get them any supplies they may need. This is typically socks and underwear and joggers. Kids get wet and shouldn't have to be uncomfortable the rest of the school day.
Many schools have a program that sends home food in a bag at the end of the school week so that the children have food to eat while not at school for the weekend.
Your donation makes a difference! By contributing to Everyone Matters, you help provide essential winter gear to children in need. Together, we can ensure that no child is cold or left out. Support our mission today! Currently help schools in Annandale, Becker, Big Lake, Clearview, Kimball, Maple Lake and Monticello.
