Help support Kiker's sister school!
Allison Elementary, located in the heart of the Montopolis community in East Austin, has been hit especially hard by the pandemic. 92% of Allison students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Navigating the financial and health impacts of the pandemic has been incredibly difficult for these vulnerable families. Donations from the Kiker community can help our sister school meet the needs of its students and families during this challenging time!
How can I support Allison Elementary?
1. Donate to the Allison Emergency Fund to support families experiencing a crisis. This fund is managed by the Allison admin team and their Communities in Schools Coordinator and is used to assist families with urgent, immediate needs (such as cut off utilities, domestic safety emergencies, etc).
To donate, contact Erin Kretschmar or Venmo @ErinKretschmar and note "Allison Emergency Fund."
2. Purchase snacks for the Pre-K and special needs Life Skills classes from their Amazon Wishlist. These snacks are typically paid for by the teachers out-of-pocket.
