The Rescue Union School District announced a generous donation from the Flaherty IMPACT Foundation — $5,000 in much-needed gift cards to support families in need within the district. This contribution will make a significant difference in the lives of many students and their families who are identified by staff as requiring high priority basic needs, from food and clothing to fuel to drive their children to and from school.
The Flaherty IMPACT Foundation is dedicated to providing assistance to youth in need. The foundation's mission focuses on supporting displaced and homeless children, youth and families dealing with pediatric cancer and other life-threatening diseases, and providing college scholarships for at-risk foster youth.
“This generous gift from the Flaherty IMPACT Foundation will have a profound impact on our community," said RUSD Superintendent Jim Shoemake. "It provides much-needed support to our families, ensuring that our students have the resources they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom. We are deeply thankful for their commitment to our children’s well-being.”
“At the Flaherty IMPACT Foundation, our sole focus is to provide assistance to youth in need. Kids — foremost and always," shared founder Michael Flaherty. "We are so honored to support the Rescue Union School District and join them in their efforts to assist and impact the lives of children and families facing significant challenges. Together, we can make a difference.”
Dr. Jennifer Lawson, Rescue USD’s coordinator of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support and Special Programs, added, “This donation is a testament to the power of community and the positive impact that generosity can have on the lives of our students.”
