Measurable Results from our Weekend Survival Kit backpacks

At the close of the 2016/2017 school year we sent out surveys to the principals and teachers in the schools we served with our Weekend Survival Kit backpack for homeless students.  The results were truly gratifying:

100% of the students improved in attendance and in fewer medical complaints or illnesses;

99% of the children had improved gradesless detention, less acting-up in class, improvement in self-esteem and greater feelings of security, improvement in trust and in better relationships with school personnel as well as other students.

These Educators also wrote that they saw an increase in joy in these children and that the program has a significant impact on parents as well as children.
