Lindbergh Lights Up The Holidays - Thank you to everyone that contributed to our utility campaign! These funds are utilized throughout the entire year for Lindbergh families who find themselves in a critical situation. We have seen an increase in need since March and are grateful that our community’s support has enabled us to help so many families; 46 families received utility support in 2020. Thank you to: Liliana's Italian Kitchen who generated $3,025! $1,525.00 was brought in through the QR code in their window/flyer and Liliana's personally donated an additional $1,500.00. Dave and Stephanie Dougherty who collected $450.00 through their holiday light display! Everyone who made direct donations to the campaign ($1,450.00). The total collected: $4,925.00 LLTW Giving Tree - Thank you, to everyone who helped support our Giving Tree campaign. With your help, we provided clothing, toys, games, gifts, personal care items, gift cards for gifts, groceries, and gas to 51 families!! A little over $2,300.00 was donated for the Giving Tree and we used some of those funds to help out two elementary schools who needed a little help fulfilling their own Giving Tree wish lists. The remaining funds were used to support families who needed immediate help with utilities. We are also grateful to our volunteer drivers who delivered these items to our families. This has been an odd and challenging year due to Covid. We have seen an increase in need and families who have never needed help before have found themselves in a difficult situation. Thanks to businesses and members of the Lindbergh community, we have been able to lighten their burden.

HOW WE HELP
Light Up the Holidays Utility Program
Difficulties can arise at any time for families, but the holidays and winter months can be especially challenging. We help students and families with temporary assistance with utility bills. Donations are used for crediting utility accounts such as Electric, Gas, and Water. Our goal is to simply provide some much-needed relief to families who find themselves in a crisis. click here for more information The Giving Tree Program The Giving Tree Program helps Lindbergh families who may not be able to afford to purchase gifts for their children, and special items during the holidays. We are anticipating that the need may be greater this year and are doing our best to prepare for that. Helpful tip: When thinking about how large of a family you might sponsor, a family with 1 child would cost approximately $175 and a family with 2 children would be about $275. Please fill out this form to let us know what type of support you would like to provide. We thank you for your wonderful support of our families and look forward to working with you! College Kick Start Program This program provides essential school supplies, personal care items, and dorm supplies to qualified Lindbergh graduating seniors who are continuing their education in the fall, and who otherwise would not be able to provide these items for themselves. We help students make the experience of transitioning to college or technical school as smooth as possible. click here for more information Summer Café Program This program provides lunch for students in need during the summer months. For some Lindbergh students, a school meal is their best or only meal of their day. What happens to those children during the summer? We help by packing and delivering lunches to these students while school is not in session. click here for more information Student Activity Funding We work with area counselors to assist students with costs associated with district activities. |
