Supporting Families Affected by Displacement

McKinney-Vento Family Resource Day
McKinney-Vento Family Resource Day

The 4th Family Resource Day, organized by the Office of Student Life (OSL) and McKinney-Vento Services, took place on Saturday, December 9, 2023. In partnership with the Family Assistance Resource Center, OSL provided a tailored and cost-free shopping experience to fifty-two families who have been displaced, benefiting a total of over two hundred and twenty-five individuals. This event not only offered winter clothing for all family members, but also included essential household items such as linens, towels, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and more. Additionally, each family received shopping carts to facilitate their shopping experience. As a gesture of support, every family was given a $50 ShopRite gift card and a welcome bag filled with hygiene essentials like laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other items. This Resource Day served as a valuable opportunity for parents to acquire additional necessities during the holiday season, alleviating financial burdens and expenses as they transition into the new year.
