Care to Learn provides immediate funding and action to meet any emergent health, hunger, or hygiene issue and restore a child’s self-respect so they can get back in the classroom. A toothbrush, a coat, deodorant, and breakfast; these are basic unmet needs causing pain and embarrassment that stand between children and belonging. As of May 2011, Care to Learn has fulfilled over 69,000 emergent requests from students in the areas of health, hunger and hygiene.
