Donate/ Volunteer
Head Start is a non-profit organization that is funded through grants and contributions from our community. Each Head Start program must raise a portion of their funds through donations or non-monetary contributions called In-kind. If you'd like to help support our community, families and students, there are a few ways you can donate. Whatever way you choose, we appreciate your contribution!
Volunteer
As the old saying goes, "time is money". Whenever you donate your time to our program, your time translates to a dollar amount, as an in-kind donation. You can volunteer in the classroom, take home materials to prep, help at events, lend your expertise to us, or anything else you can think of that would help our program run! If you're interested in volunteering, please call the front desk and ask for Crystal B!
Due to current COVID-19 conditions, our volunteer opportunities are limited to virtual experiences. For more information about this, give us a call!
Donate Supplies
