Random Acts of Kindness
For over 30 years, community giving has helped students get to school, be ready to learn, and able to participate fully in school activities through LPEF’s Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) accounts. Because each school has their own account, staff can respond quickly to student needs that arise, such as
- Get to school – bus passes, bike repairs, alarm clocks
- Ready to learn – eyeglasses, hygiene supplies, clothing
- Participate Fully – field trip fees, sports equipment, college exam fees
- Family-level assistance – utilities, childcare, or car maintenance
Students and families benefit from $45,000 – $55,000 of RAK support each school year. They have access to this support because of generous community giving throughout the year, as well as annual distributions from the Random Acts of Kindness Forever Fund.
The needs supported by RAK continue to be great and you can help with:
- Gifts designated to RAK that will support student and family needs in the coming year and are distributed proportionately to schools in the district.
- Gifts to the RAK Forever Fund that will support the RAK forever by adding to the principal in LPEF’s endowment fund.
