Start School Strong
We build partnerships with schools and corporations to ensure all kids have the resources they need to thrive in school. From providing school supplies to eliminating school lunch debt, ensuring kids have access to vaccines and health screenings, we are committed to bridging the gaps for children and their families. Together, we ensure all kids Start School Strong.
Tools 4 School
New school years come with costs that many ALICE families struggle with. Backpacks, school supplies, first day of school clothes, uniforms and fees can all add up. We work with partner corporations to create backpacks with new supplies and tools and distribute them throughout the communities. Together, we ensure that when children arrive at their desks, they have the tools to succeed.
Care Corners
Basic needs shouldn’t be a barrier to learning. Many ALICE families in Hunterdon County struggle to afford food, hygiene items, school supplies, and other essentials. CARE Corners bring dignity and support directly to students by creating welcoming, school-based pantries stocked with nutritious food, personal care items, and seasonal necessities. Through partnerships with local businesses and community organizations, CARE Corners ensure every student has access to what they need—right where they learn—so they can focus on growing, not going without.
Start School Strong Community Days
Every family deserves a strong, healthy beginning. For many in our community, access to health screenings, vaccinations, and essential resources can be out of reach. Strong Start Community Days bring services directly to neighborhoods—offering families a one-stop hub for wellness, support, and connection. In partnership with local agencies, healthcare providers, and community organizations, these free, family-friendly fairs offer vital screenings, helpful resources, and fun activities for all ages—ensuring that every child and caregiver has the tools to thrive, right from the start.
