The 2020 Holiday Box is right around the corner!
Box of Hope is a partnership between the North Tonawanda School District, local churches, civic organizations and businesses.
There are many great people in our city doing many great things. We simply try to unite some of this energy so we can make maximum impact in our community
We believe that the future of our city can be brighter as we model for our children effective ways to serve our neighbors and provide for needs through solid, authentic friendships that continue far beyond our outreaches.
Local churches provide invitations to the school social workers, psychologists and counselors who identify the families that have the highest levels of need through their day to day experiences and relationships to these families. The schools send those registrations to those families and help them to register.
Our resources come from the generosity of the people of our city. A collaboration between the schools and churches aligns those that want to sponsor with the families in need. Sponsors provide groceries, paper and hygiene products and gifts, school supplies or other items based on the outreach we are doing and the need. (See Important Dates below)
Box of Hope wants to be able to build friendships right at the doorstep of the families we serve. We organize deliveries on specific dates for each of our 3 outreaches. Sponsors are urged to not just purchase the things these families need, but deliver them too. THIS IS WHERE WE BELIEVE FRIENDSHIPS BEGIN!
This will be the 6th year in a row that we gather food, essential items and school supplies for children up to 18 in our city! Stay Tuned!

We want the students in our schools to be as successful as possible. The Food For Finals box helps to make sure there's adequate food in the cupboards during one of the most stressful weeks of a child's school career.
