Bobcat CARES
The Bobcat CARE (Community Action Reaching Education) Fund
Living in a small community, we understand the importance of working together and relying on one another for success. However, resources can sometimes be limited. During tough times, parents and families may struggle to provide their children with everything they need. The Bobcat CARE Fund steps in to assist families by offering supplies, clothing, shoes, toiletries, school lunch, milk, and even support for CNA certifications.
How it Works
The Bobcat CARE Fund operates in a straightforward manner. When teachers or parents identify a student's needs, they reach out to the Principals at Hemingford Elementary and High School. These needs, such as winter coats, tennis shoes, or assistance with school lunch, can be addressed through the CARE funds. The specific needs can be posted on our Facebook page and website. If someone wishes to donate an item, they can comment or message on Facebook or contact the school directly. Donations, whether items or funds, can be dropped off at the school and will be distributed to the students in need. This program is entirely confidential, and no student names are ever disclosed.
