Assistance to kids in the community

I'm so proud to be a member of Assistance League of Mpls/St Paul, a "hands-on" helping organization in our city!  We've recently voted to provide aid to children at the schools ALMSP sponsors in North Mpls.  This week's toronado has destroyed so many homes in that area of the city, which already struggles with daily life.  Each year ALMSP provides school uniforms, winter jackets and boots to kids attending several schools there as well as tutoring and reading to children on a weekly basis.  Now we'll add snacks for the children.  Teachers and bus drivers tell us that kids come to school asking for food.  Some are not getting regular meals nor attention to school work.   Emergency needs can be attended to through Assistance League in many helpful ways.
