M&T Charitable Foundation to fund Head Start Project for Caring

January 15, 2025

Funding from M&T Charitable Foundation will allow Luzerne County Head Start to provide care packages to children and families in need.

M&T presented LCHS with a $5,000 check for the Head Start Project for Caring, which will provide bags of essentials to Head Start families experiencing homelessness, as well as Head Start children in foster care. LCHS gives children in these circumstances preference in the enrollment process due to higher need. 

LCHS staff and volunteers will pack the Head Start Project for Caring Bags with toiletries, comfort items and other necessities.
