Claver House has been partnering with St. Louis public schools in the Ville since 2016. Today there remain but two: Sumner High School, the first school for African Americans west of the Mississippi and one with a proud tradition, and Hickey Elementary, a school for pre-K through 6th grade students. Today both schools continue dealing with systemic issues of poverty.

 

For many years Claver House collected backpacks and school supplies for distribution at the annual Ville Collaborative Back-to-School Block Party. Recently we asked the two schools if there were greater needs. Both replied almost identically. Students fail to attend school because they lack personal hygiene items, a hair cut, or clothing items. Many who attend school are hungry and have no access to healthy snacks. These are areas where we can help. Hence Claver House is now collecting food and hygiene supplies, vouchers, and other items for distribution throughout the school year to needy students at our two Ville public schools. Below is a shopping list of needed items.

Would  you like us to do the shopping for you?  Click HERE to donate monetarily using PayPal. A donation of $100 sponsors one child. To donate directly, mail a check to our corporate address (listed below), payable to either "Revitalization 2000, Inc." or "Claver House". Whether donating directly or through a church or organization, write "Back to School" on the check memo line.
