Please consider making a financial contribution to support Project Access students. One-hundred percent of funds donated to Project Access go directly to students experiencing homelessness. These funds are used exclusively for needs that students and families have that there are no other resources such as replacement birth certificates, band/orchestra instruments & band field trips/extracurricular activities, senior activities, clothing and equipment for school sports, Tier 3 MTSS supports for families, etc. These funds are tracked through individual forms filled out for each expense and submitted to the U-46 Financial Department. No donated money is ever used for administrative costs.
