The mission of the Dommerich Community Outreach Fund is to ensure each child at Dommerich Elementary is provided with his or her basic needs so that they can focus on learning. The funds will be used to support students who experience hardship, poverty, and homelessness.
Funds will also be used to supplement our yearly drives. We begin the year with a school supply drive to ensure all kids are ready to learn. In November we will hold a food drive for our school food pantry and a clothing & coat drive. Our final drive of the year will be our Holiday drive, where we will be looking for donations of toys, gift cards, and money to make the holidays a little brighter for families.
Our secondary goal will be to provide scholarships for students wishing to participate in after school activities, sports seasons, summer camps and other programs, who would otherwise not be able to participate due to financial hardship.
Donations can be made at any time and will be tax deductible as a contribution to a 501c3. The Fund can receive cash, check or credit card, in one payment or multiple installments throughout the school year. The DES Community Outreach Fund will maintain a separate account at the OCPS Foundation, available only for Dommerich Elementary School.
