Foundation Provides Financial Help for WSSD Families
The Foundation for Wallingford-Swarthmore Schools recently donated an initial $5,000 to provide financial help to families in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District who, because of COVID-19, are facing a loss of income, health problems, or unplanned expenses. Mini-grants are available to help pay for a variety of family needs, particularly childcare, food, household items, and school supplies.
Now the foundation has created a special fund, the COVID-19 Relief Fund, to make it easier to collect and distribute donations.
To contribute to the fund:
Mail a check to the Foundation for Wallingford-Swarthmore Schools, P.O. Box 288, Wallingford, PA 19086. Write “COVID-19 Fund” in the memo line.
Donate online via PayPal. Please type “COVID-19 Fund” in the comment box.
