Holiday Help for Montpelier/Roxbury Families
Donation protected
Greetings Neighbors,
We are a group of local parents who are interested in helping other Montpelier/Roxbury Public School families in need this holiday season. As many of you know, we did a similar fundraiser last year for Union Elementary School families. This year, our goal is very ambitious, because we are trying to raise enough money to provide support to families in all four schools in the district.
We have been working with the 3 social workers in our district to coordinate this fundraiser. They have asked for us to provide help for 60 families across the district. We have set an ambitious goal of $6,000 to give 60 families a $100 gift card to a local store of their choice. These gift cards will go a long way to help our neighbors and their children enjoy their holidays this year. The social workers will be responsible for distributing the gift cards equitable across the four schools in our district.
Our community was so generous and supportive for the Thanksgiving fundraiser… we even raised $325 over our goal, which has been rolled over into this fundraiser, making our starting goal $5,675. Because of that generous spirit, we are hopeful to meet our goal by the December 16th deadline, but we will need your HELP! Please share this GoFundMe link widely… on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, email, messenger pigeon… however you can. And please give what you can!
Thank you so much.
Melissa Story, Emma Bay-Hansen, Kaia Santana, Jenny Sheehan, Maria Arsenlis
*If we do not meet our goal in time, the plan is to divide what we do raise equally across schools and families. If we raise more money than our goal, we will buy additional gift cards at the discretion of the social workers.
**If you, or an organization that you are affiliated with would like to make a large, tax-deductible donation, please email Emma at [email redacted] . We now have the ability to process larger donations through the new umbrella non-profit group for the district - MRPSPIE .
