Who We Are
Our Vision, Mission and Goal
The Little Red Schoolhouse Project committee was founded in 1991 by local social service agencies, churches, businesses and individuals to help children have the basics to return to school with pride. We are committed to providing, at no cost, school supplies and backpacks to families in need so children can begin the school year with their basic needs for school.
The Little Red Schoolhouse Project was founded in response to this need. We are a non-profit organization under the fiscal sponsorship of FAMILY EDUCATION & SUPPORT SERVICES (FESS). A fiscal sponsor is a nonprofit that provides fiduciary oversight. The mission of FESS is “to inspire healthy child development through the provision of quality family support services.”
Each year supplies are given to approximately 3,000 students!
