Fill A Student's Heart Fundraiser 2020-2021

About this campaign

Fill A Student's Heart (FASH) is a non-profit organization that provides support for students who are in transitional homes here in SFUSD. It is a student-led organization founded by Christine Chau, a Raoul Wallenberg Traditional High School Alumni. FASH's mission is to be able to support and provide care for students in SFUSD who are less fortunate. All funds donated will go DIRECTLY towards those students. Your donation will go towards additional school supplies, household essentials, clothing, and/or toys, coloring books, art supplies, holiday gifts, and much more!

Approximately 2,500 students in the San Francisco Unified School District are either homeless or in transitional homes. Many of these students do not have access to school supplies, personal care items, clothes, and toys. The Student Advisory Council of SFUSD is a body of high school students who have the job of advising the Board of Education and the Superintendent on students’ needs and interests. The SAC does this by supporting or opposing changes to new policies, learning about new issues, and advising on existing programs. A student on the Student Advisory Council of SFUSD wanted to address this problem, and as result, they founded Fill A Student’s Heart as a way to help these students.

Every year, Fill A Student’s Heart raises funds to support these students in school and at home. Last year, Fill A Student’s Heart did a Halloween Goodie Bags and a Holiday Giveaway event, giving school supplies, toys, hygiene products, and clothes for the winter. As student leaders, SAC representatives are determined to provide support for their peers who do not have the luxury of a stable home, especially during these uncertain times. We hope that you will support our mission and take initiative to aid the many students in San Francisco. Your donation can change thousands of students' lives!
