As fall approaches students, including the children of many MAP recipients, begin to think about returning to school. School has the ability provide homeless children with a much-needed sense of stability in their otherwise chaotic lives. It also provides them with the close relationships they may not have at home and self-confidence through their successes. Upon completion it is the single most important step they can take to bring themselves out of poverty. However, if these children are not provided the simple tools necessary to be an active participant in their education it is a very likely possibility that school will become yet another worrisome burden to add to their list, including housing and hunger. In MA 75% of the 50,000 youth facing homeless drop out of school. In an effort to assist these children in gaining the education necessary to succeed academically MAP is holding our 6th Annual School Supply Drive. Last year we were able to provide 73 students with backpacks and school supplies. This year we aim to increase that number to 100. Please consider contributing to our 2013 School Supply Drive; donations may be dropped off at MAP during our hours of operation, Tuesday & Thursday 9am-3pm or on Sundays if you are member of Cambridge Friends Meeting through Tuesday August 27th. If necessary, other times may be arranged for drop off. Questions? Contact: Cassie Hurd, MAP Program Coordinator at churd@afsc.org or (617) 876-5312.
