Story

•
1000 Children 200 Adults

Our non-profit organization is once again taking part in the annual Back-to-School Drive in Ottawa County, a vital effort to ensure that children and families in our community have access to the essential school supplies they need to succeed.

We are reaching out in a time of great need. As the new school year approaches, we are seeing a growing number of families struggling to afford even the most basic educational materials. This year, more than ever, your support could make a meaningful difference in the lives of local students.

We would greatly appreciate any assistance you may be able to provide. Every donation helps us get closer to ensure that no child in our community is left behind due to lack of supplies.

Thank you for considering our request and for your continued commitment to supporting local families.

Special Instructions

We would greatly appreciate if the supplies could be dropped off at the LAUP office. Our staff will be stuffing backpacks for the back to school event. We are submitting this request earlier than usual to ensure we have everything we need. Our office is located at 430 W. 17th St. Holland, MI 49423.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Dear community, we are reaching out to support a hardworking single mother of four who has recently lost her full-time job cleaning hotel rooms due to a drop in bookings. She is now only working two days a week and actively looking for more work. Her job search has been especially difficult due to her legal status in this country, but despite the challenges, she remains hopeful. She is not currently receiving food stamps or child support, which has made it even harder to stay afloat.

She is now short on rent for July 1st, especially after falling behind on her electricity bill. Our organization is stepping in to help with groceries, and basic needs — and we are also working to help her find additional resources. We are doing everything we can to help her and her children stay in their apartment and avoid eviction.

If you’re able to support with some of the rent, no matter how small, it would make a real difference for this family during this difficult time. Thank you for your compassion and solidarity.
