STEP UP for local youth!

We’re behind & falling further everyday!
We’re 100% COMMUNITY FUNDED, so no one is coming to save us BUT US.

We NEED you because local BIPOC youth NEEDS US. We can’t do it alone.

It’s that time of the year! 📚🎓🚌🏫
The 518 Free Store’s “Step- Up” Back to School SHOE Drive is active!

This IS a “all hands on deck” situation as giving/support has been on a serious decline we invite & encourage you to STEP UP for local marginalized youth & support a more equitable start to the new school year!

Anyone who has been there KNOWS how hard it is to live in a singular hotel room with your entire family.

One of those hardships is preparing & storing food with seldom more than a microwave.

HUNGER IS VIOLENCE
Show up & keep this family safe ❤️

Show up for Good Cause!

Schenectady NEEDS good cause eviction.

🏡 Check the comments for the link to sign the petition
🏡 Pull up to city hall tomorrow @ 6:30
🏡 Email city council & tell them why good cause is important to you.

YOUR LANDLORDS ARE ORGANIZED & ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO STOP GOOD CAUSE EVICTION.

We aren’t helpless. Get involved!

EDIT: WE MET OUR GOAL!!
Today we checked in on this mama, gave her an update on funds, & promised to continue to push as hard as we possibly can to meet this goal TODAY.

221.50 is all that stands between them and safety.

We CANNOT FAIL!
Please help!!!
