In efforts to encourage a supportive environment for students in need, the Special Education Foundation (SEF) is partnering with the Special School District (SSD) with the Personal Care Drive. Through this initiative, we aim to provide essential hygiene items to students facing economic challenges, ensuring they have access to the resources necessary for their well-being and success in school.

At SEF, our mission is centered on supporting the unique needs of students with disabilities. We recognize that personal care items are fundamental to students' health and self-esteem. Yet, for many families, these items can be financially burdensome. Through this drive we hope to alleviate some of the stress faced by families and empower students to focus on their education with confidence.

Your donation to SEF will directly contribute to the purchase of hygiene items such as toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant, and other essentials. These items may seem small, but their impact is significant. By providing students with access to basic hygiene products, we can help decrease absences, promote a sense of community, and increase students' active participation in their education.

The link between personal hygiene and academic performance is undeniable. When students have access to clean clothes, toiletries, and other personal care items, they are more likely to attend school regularly and engage in classroom activities. By addressing the basic needs of students, we create an environment where they can thrive academically and socially.

Furthermore, the Personal Care Drive serves as an opportunity to foster community involvement and support. By rallying together to support students served by the Special School District of St. Louis County, we strengthen the bonds within our community and demonstrate our collective commitment to the well-being of all students.

Your contribution, no matter how small, can make a difference in the lives of these students. Your monetary donation and support is deeply appreciated and directly benefits those in need.
