Seniors4Students, Building Desks in Sonoma County

S4S (Seniors for Students) is a volunteer effort in Sonoma County organized to build basic desks for kids who are distance learning but may not have a desk or a quiet place to work at home. This effort is giving seniors and others a way to support students during a pandemic that has been challenging for all age groups.  Project inspiration came from similar efforts already started in other parts of the country. The local version of this effort began with a group of Oakmont residents but now includes volunteers throughout Sonoma County.

In conversations with local school administers and teachers they are clear that the need is great.  Distance learning is hard enough for kids without the added challenge of not having a place at home to work and focus.  

S4S not only builds desks for donation to local schools but also gathers donations of gently used chairs so that that each child is gifted a desk and chair.  

Funds raised through GoFundMe will go to purchasing building materials and desk top organizers.  The funds may also be used to purchase chairs once we have exhausted local donations.  Our goal is to build and donate 125 desks and chairs during the months of December through March.  It costs about $35.00 to build a desk. 

Please help us with this project!  Give distance learning kids a chance to succeed during very trying times.
