Some of the most valuable gifts don't come with a dollar sign. If it helps a kid learn, play, cook, or make music, we can put it to work at Leah Chase School.
Trumpets, drums, keyboards, violins — playable or repairable. Give an old horn a second line.
For the Young Musicians ProgramMixers, ranges, cookware, and small appliances in good working order to bring Leah Chase's kitchen to life.
For the Food LabChildren's books, paper, backpacks, and classroom supplies to stock the Tutoring Lab and its library.
For the Tutoring LabUniforms, balls, and equipment for Athletics & Clubs — plus anything else that could help achieve the mission. Just ask.
