How SC4K is Responding to COVID-19
As we all continue to navigate through the COVID-19 situation, we want to assure you that a healthy and safe environment for our teachers, volunteers, community partners, and staff remain our number one concern.
Current Programs & Donation Updates
-
School Supply and Clothing Programs:
We will monitor updates, rely on guidance from health experts and school administrators, and will notify teachers and distribution partners when we reopen.
IN THE MEANTIME WE ARE DISTRIBUTING CLOTHING, HYGIENE KITS AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES TO SCHOOLS, OUR DISTRIBUTION PARTNERS, OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES AND THE FOOD BANK.
-
Product Donations
While we appreciate the support of individuals with items to donate, to minimize the potential spread of the virus, we are asking donors to hold on to those items until further notice.

Volunteer & Supporter Updates
-
Students and teachers in need are navigating uncharted territory, which means we are as well. The need for shoes, clothes, school supplies, and educational materials and enhancement tools will continue to be great when schools resume and especially this summer as we start to plan for the new school year. Please keep students and teachers in your thoughts and we will be in touch soon with ways to support our back to school needs.
SC4K Partner Updates
Last Updated: 05/22/2020
We are fortunate that many of our distribution partners are still serving the community and working to make sure that our neighbors and children in need are safe, healthy, and have access to needed resources. We'll be providing weekly updates on the resources available through our partners.
