About Us

In March of 2018, a group of concerned teachers and community members decided to tackle the personal hygiene and care of students at Paoli High School who were unable to solve the problem themselves. Our organization applied for and were awarded the OCCF Educational CAPE endowment Grant from the Orange County Community Foundation as a way to get started. Our group reached out to community members to find partners to sustain the project. If you are interested in helping us grow, please contact a Board member below.
