DONATIONS
Schools That Care assists students, families and community members of USD#498 based on needs, not income. The Family Advocate drives a Mobile Family Resource Center, aka "the care bus," to our communities- Waterville & Blue Rapids- filled with supplies and resources to share with families to improve their lives and increase students' opportunities to thrive at school and in the classroom. The care bus relies solely on donations to provide supplies to families like school supplies, hygiene supplies, household supplies, some baby supplies, winter wear and other basic needs.
