Jumpstart #GivingTuesday By Donating To Neighborhood Schools

We’re one week away from #GivingTuesday, a global day following Black Friday and Cyber Monday that focuses on giving back to the community. We can’t think of a better way to give back than helping our neighborhood schools.

Donors Choose goes right to the source. Teachers create projects for things that they need to help their students succeed – everything from basic school supplies to computers. The website approves the fundraiser, the public donates, and once their goal is achieved, the items are sent directly to the teacher.

It’s a win-win. You feel great because your donation helps kids in the neighborhood, and teachers are not forced to buy these materials with their own money.

A quick zip code search reveals teachers in every neighborhood that could use a helping hand. Whether it’s your child’s classroom, or just a school around the corner, every student deserves the tools they need to succeed.

Here’s how you can make this #GivingTuesday one to remember, South Slope! There are multiple projects that need your help in the following schools. There are many more all over the borough, so be sure to use the zip code search!

JHS 88 — Peter Rouget
PS 10 — Magnet School of Math, Science, and Technology
PS 124 — Silas B. Dutcher
