Make Sure No Lakewood Elementary School Student Wakes Up Empty-Handed On Christmas Morning!
For many children, the weeks leading up to Christmas are filled with joy and anticipation. Some mail their wish lists to the North Pole, bake treats for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and peek around the living room corner in hopes of catching a small glimpse of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. But due to COVID-19, this year may be a little different for children in Baltimore City Public Schools—where 77% of students are Black and 50.4% are eligible for SNAP or TANF benefits.
At Color Of Change, we believe that Black and low-income children deserve to experience holiday joy. That’s why we’re partnering with Lakewood Elementary School—located in East Baltimore City—and raising $2,000 to provide every student with a gift from Santa Claus! We've made a commitment now, through Christmas 2021, to make these children's wishes come true.
Socioeconomic status should not determine whether a child has made the Naughty or Nice List. With a monthly contribution, you can help sponsor a gift from Santa Claus AND ensure that Black Joy is not seasonal, but everlasting!
