As fall approaches students, including the children of many MAP recipients, begin to think aboutreturning to school. School has the ability provide homeless children with a much-needed sense ofstability in their otherwise chaotic lives. It also provides them with the close relationships they maynot have at home and self-confidence through their successes. Upon completion it is the single mostimportant step they can take to bring themselves out of poverty. However, if these children are notprovided the simple tools necessary to be an active participant in their education it is a very likelypossibility that school will become yet another worrisome burden to add to their list, includinghousing and hunger. In MA 75% of the 50,000 youth facing homeless drop out of school.

In an effort to assist these children in gaining the education necessary to succeed academically MAPis holding our 6th Annual School Supply Drive. Last year we were able to provide 73 students withbackpacks and school supplies. This year we aim to increase that number to 100. Please considercontributing to our 2013 School Supply Drive; donations may be dropped off at MAP during ourhours of operation, Tuesday & Thursday 9am-3pm or on Sundays if you are member of CambridgeFriends Meeting through Thursday August 29th. If necessary, other times may be arranged for dropoff.
