We are very excited to help a long-time member of CrossFit Winter Park, Taylor McGowan, gather donations for Wekiva High School’s School Pantry & The Clothing Closet.
Taylor is entering her 6th year as Wekiva High School’s School Social Worker. She is the point of contact for all things mental health, as well as for the homeless and foster care youth in this Title I school.
Title I is a federal education program that supports low-income students throughout the nation. Funds are distributed to high poverty schools, as determined by the number of students who qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Taylor’s office houses the School Pantry & The Clothing Closet. Even with federal funding, both the pantry and the closet are reliant upon donations from the community to stay up in order to supply the students with basic necessities such as non-perishable foods, school supplies, clothes, and backpacks.
Taylor says they are always in need of: backpacks, notebooks, cereal, ramen noodles, mac and cheese cups, cases of water, applesauce, sweatshirts, t-shirts, and leggings.
We are trying to collect items by August 11th in order to distribute them right as school starts.
Items can be donated directly from the Amazon Wishlist (items shipped directly to school) or you can drop them off at CrossFit Winter Park.
Thank you in advance for your support! The kids will be the most grateful!!
