#GivingTuesdayNow starts tomorrow!
Giving Tuesday usually takes place in the Fall, but this is #GivingTuesdayNow. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, teachers and students in East Palo Alto and eastern Menlo Park suddenly needed to adapt to remote learning. EPAK quickly decided to allow teachers to repurpose their Spring 2020 grants, and to offer additional special grants up to $500 in order to assist them with these new challenges. Donations to EPAK have a direct impact on creating more educational equity in our local area, especially in light of the current challenges.
All donations will support these projects as well as many others submitted by teachers.
Check out our website for more information and thank you for all your support this Tuesday and every day: ... See MoreSee Less
