#DonateChangeCreateChange Eat today so someone else can tomorrow! Call Your Mother Deli’s in-store Round Up campaign, which continues today through Tuesday, January 31st 2023, gives deli customers the opportunity to round up their transaction to the nearest whole dollar at checkout to support the Maya Way’s wraparound services. The Maya Way includes groceries for families, clothes, shoes or uniforms, a year round baby supplies closet, in-school counseling services and other essentials that benefit our scholars and the larger Ward 7 community - all free of charge to those in need at our MALC flagship site. Giving back is as important to the shoppers of the Call Your Mother Deli as it is to the staff, faculty, alumni and partners of the Maya Angelou schools and academies. Both Call Your Mother and the Maya Schools are committed to helping our local neighbors in need which is why 100% of the funds collected are funneled directly to meeting the needs of District-based students, families and households.

In the years that Maya Angelou PCS doesn't receive

In the years that Maya Angelou PCS doesn't receive McKinney-Vento funding, our Director of Operations, Ms. Holley, has had to dip into the school budget for non-traditional expenses. We fundraise, host #GivingTuesday, apply for grants and crowdsource for emergency assistance, transportation and safe haven residences for students and families. Read more about Maya Angelou PCS' fight for household stability in the DCist (@dcist) article, 'D.C. Gets Federal Funds To Help Homeless Students. But Many Schools In Need Are Shortchanged.' 📱View this article in full at the DCist.com or tinyurl.com/rra4ye4p. 🎁To donate to our person-centered, homeless assistance programs that include emergency shelter, counseling, housing services and groceries for our families please visit: https://seeforever.networkforgood.com/

In the District, over 65,000 people are facing hunger, of those people nearly 20,000 are children - that's 1in 6. At the Maya Angelou Learning Center site, we open our pantry and closet doors to student-families, alumni and our Ward 7 neighbors. Anyone who is in need can receive! 🛒 The Community Eats boxes and seasonal Holiday Baskets include lean protein, non-perishables and fresh produce. We also pack combs, bath tissue, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes and more while supplies last. 🦷 To replenish our giveaway groceries, please give the gift of a full stomach and a clean body to a Maya family or nearby Capitol Heights household, by sending a #GivingTuesday donation through Network for Good 🔗: seeforever.networkforgood.com

🥖Food insecurity makes it difficult for a Maya

🥖Food insecurity makes it difficult for a Maya student, or any child across DC, to learn and grow. At the Maya Schools we prepare generous portions and multiple hot meals for our scholars, staff and faculty daily in our commercial kitchen. We box and refrigerate our leftovers for those who would like to take home extra to-go meals for their families or friends. 🥯Maya tackles food insecurity because we know serious health issues can arise in our students and their families when people have to choose between spending money on food and medicine or healthcare. When we open our doors to feed our neighbors in Ward 7 we can help alleviate difficult decisions like choosing between food and rent, bills, and transportation. 🍞Consider donating on behalf of #GivingTuesday to assist community members and stop hunger during the most difficult time of the year. 💳 Give online today: https://seeforever.networkforgood.com/
