Our Project Need
What problem did our team address? How did this need align with our impact area? What research did we do to find out what already exists to address this problem?
This project is needed because there are about 91,000 homeless people in Los Angeles, and one third of those people are women. We need to collect resources that help improve the lives of these 91,000 people, and by hosting school donation drives we can encourage our staff and students to be a "helping hand".
We also need to help the 30% of Los Angeles households that face food insecurity. Our team wants to collect food resources to donate to local food banks, and we will also coordinate school community service opportunities to volunteer at these local food banks.
Through these acts of service, our team and school community can improve the quality of life for homeless women and families facing food insecurity in our Pico-Union neighborhood.
RMMS
Our school, Richard Merkin Middle School, is an Alliance College-Ready Academy which prepares students for college and beyond. Richard Merkin Middle School has an after school program called All Stars, which helps students with homework and has different activities such as music, so students can get to know each other.
RMMS tries their best to make education fun and engaging so we can be prepared for challenges that get in our way.
