Feeding Esperanza Families and Students

We all find ourselves facing such a tough and uncertain time because of COVID19, and the families of Esperanza Elementary are in need of our support. The teachers and I, the principal, are extremely concerned for the well-being of our families and their ability to pay for basic necessities such as food. Due to COVID19, 75% of our families are now out of work. Esperanza is a Title 1 school, and 100% of our families qualify for free and reduced lunch. As you can imagine, this unimaginable time in history is hitting our community hard. 

Our dedicated and hard-working families create an amazing school community. They volunteer at our school to maintain a positive school culture. We have parents supporting teachers and students daily in our classrooms, at recess time and in the cafeteria. They volunteer their time and provide love and dedication daily for their children and the larger community. 

In this time we find ourselves needing to support the very families that have been supporting and strengthening Esperanza and its students for all these years. As the principal of this amazing dual-language school, I believe it my duty to help. I will not let my community break apart; I cannot.  So I am asking for you, the larger community, to support our families during this time. They are in a position where most of them do not qualify for food stamps, unemployment or other services due to the inequities within our system. 100% of your donation will be used to purchase groceries and other basic necessities to give to Esperanza families as often as possible. Your support will help families survive during this unprecedented time.
