Wish Lists

We are asking for your donation toward this worthy program that works to fill the gaps for Manatee County Students who are homeless, so they can reach stability, stay in school, graduate and achieve their aspirations. 

Manatee County High Schools Project Heart program has identified 155 high school students who lack a fixed, adequate, stable nighttime residence. Many are living in a shelter, motel, campground, car, a park, abandoned building, or bus station. 

Help us help them with the following donations for high school students ages 14-18, male & female:

  • New Shoes

  • New Undergarments

  • Feminine Hygiene Products

Or make a tax-deductible donation to this project:

   Zelle: 941-747-6222

   Credit Card
