How our various agencies supported the underserved populations in our community.

 

Tools4Schools:  practical interventions for underserved students (homeless and group home fostered) as well as practical support for local Title One schools.

​

• In the summer of 2018, MTI raised $8000.00 to provide 269 underserved students in Buena Park School District with personal school supplies, a new school uniform, and 90 needed backpacks.

• MTI continues to provide ongoing practical support for teachers and students at Gilbert Elementary, Whittaker Elementary, and Pendleton Elementary schools in Buena Park (i.e., bi-monthly tissue box donations to classroom teachers; financial support for individual student needs;  library purchases; teacher lounge upgrade and décor; special education student banquet costs, etc.)

• In the summer of 2019, MTI not only hopes to raise funds to continue its support of the above-mentioned elementary schools but also hopes to provide for the remaining 220 homeless and foster students who attend Beatty Elementary, Emory Elementary, Corey Elementary and Buena Park Junior High School.
