The Kenwood Cares is trying to raise $15,000 for high school students families experiencing food and housing shortages this holiday season. It is imperative that we pull together to support one another, writes Principal Karen Calloway. If you are aware of students or Kenwood families that have been negatively impacted by COVID-19, please let us know. Examples include families in which a parent has been laid off or are unable to work due to illness.
Donations can be made at donorbox.org/kenwood-cares. Friends of Kenwood Academy is running the fundraiser, and donations are tax-deductible.
Felicia Davis-Fourte with the booster organization said the money is going to students families who have slipped through the social safety net or, this many months into pandemic and recession, outlasted its offerings.
