Giving Back at Elevate
Welcome to our Kindness Initiatives page, where compassion meets action! At Elevate, we believe in the power of community and the profound impact that a simple act of kindness can have. Join us in making a difference by contributing to our various initiatives aimed at supporting those in need.
Warm Hearts, Warm Hands Coat Drive
Winter is upon us, we believe that no student should face the cold without the warmth of proper outerwear. This season, we're launching our Warm Hearts, Warm Hands: Coats and Gloves Drive, and we need your help! As the temperatures drop, many of our high school students are in need of winter essentials to stay comfortable and focused on their studies.
If interested in donating, we will be accepting new coats at our Elevate Bridgeport office at 180 Boston Ave, Bridgeport, CT 06610.
Benevolence Fund
We are also finding that beyond the need for proper outwear, some of our families are also struggling to pay utility bills, groceries, and their day to day essentials. In response, we have created a 2024 Benevolence Fund to address these needs and ensure our students and their families are covered.
