Donations-Heights Family Resource Center Fund

The idea for a Family Resource Center (FRC) came initially from the district’s participation in the Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Collaborative Network and the Community Learning Center (CLC) Collaborative. District staff visited FRCs to learn about their goals, their partnerships, and the needs that can be met through them.

The mission of the CH-UH FRC is to provide services, support and activities that educate, develop skills, and promote health and well-being in order to improve the lives of students and families in the CH-UH Schools. In partnership with families and community-based organizations, the FRC will become a welcoming hub for the community.

A team made up of Lisa Hunt, Family Engagement Specialist; Nancy Peppler, Supervisor of
Community and School Partnerships; Sabrina Ollie, CLC Organizer at Oxford Elementary; and Tenille Threatt, CLC Organizer at Noble Elementary will operate the FRC.

In addition to family support programming, CH-UH Schools families will be able to access the following items at no cost:

● Children’s clothing
● Non-perishable food
● Household cleaning supplies
● Sanitary and personal hygiene products
● Infant care items (e.g. diapers and formula)
● School supplies

Currently, the FRC is only accepting monetary donations, which will be used to purchase new items to supplement the current inventory. After the facility opens, the District will regularly assess need and usage and will announce when the FRC can begin accepting additional in-kind
item donations.

All donations to the Family Resource Center are facilitated by the Heights Schools Foundation. If you would like to make a monetary donation, you can do so here or by sending a check to the Heights Schools Foundation (please indicate that the donation is for the FRC):
