Neighborhood Bridges

Anthony Wayne Local Schools has partnered with neighborhood bridges to connect students and families in need with generous donors in our community in order to ensure they arrive at school ready to learn.

Here's how it works:

School representatives work with students and their families to identify barriers to securing basic needs.
The school shares the need with neighborhood bridges.
neighborhood bridges reaches out to its network of donors to ask for help on behalf of the student.
Donors register to receive notifications and select the ways they can help.
neighborhood bridges delivers the donation to the school.
School representatives ensure families receive the needed item.

The process is easy and anonymous. You can help by submitting your email online at www.neighborhoodbridges.org/community/anthony-wayne

For assistance in requesting a need for your student or family, please contact your school counselor, principal or the District school social worker, Rebekah Hrcka.
