This fundraiser benefits the Schenectady City Schools Community Schools Initiative which provides students and their families access to medical and mental health services, food, clothing, childcare, transportation, and enrichment programs.

 Proceeds will be used to fully furnish a community resource room at an William C. Keane Elementary school where families can access these services and various household amenities.  This includes the purchase of several large appliances, furniture, décor, and labor to make this space comfortable for the students and their families.

Community Schools are public schools that emphasize family engagement, strong community partnerships and additional supports for students and families. Community Schools are designed to counter environmental factors that impede student achievement. Fundamentally, Community Schools coordinate and maximize public, non-profit and private resources to deliver critical services to students and their families, thereby increasing student achievement and generating other positive outcomes. 

A community room sits within the Community School, serving as a safe comfortable location for students and families to have their needs met. In the community room you will find a clothing closet, food pantry, and a washer or dryer. Students and families have access to these basic necessities to assist in meeting their basic needs. You will find a few computers and a printer for families to have access to the internet to complete job searches, apartment searches, applications, and resumes. There is comfortable and welcoming furniture for families to join together and meet for informative programming and support groups. The ideal community room would also have a small kitchenette to prepare meals so families can break bread with one another and engage in great conversation.
