Mavs Helping Hands Program

The MAVS Helping Hands Program is designed to help our fellow students who need our help.  We are directly helping students within our own school and community who have needs that we as a community can help fulfill.  
  1. Our MAVS Food Drive is dedicated to providing meals for our students during long durations away from school such as holiday breaks.  NOV 2 - NOV 20, 2020
  2. Our MAVS Personal Hygiene Kits are dedicated to providing necessary toiletries for our students throughout the year.
  3. Our MAVS Angel Tree is dedicated to helping our students receive some much needed supplies for the holidays in addition to a personal gift.

Helping others see the light at the end of the tunnel...

MAVS Angel Tree
MAVS students in need are supported by their peers with the MAVS Angel Tree for Winter Break & the Winter Holiday.

​A sign-up Genius link will be provided as the time gets closer to the Winter Break.

This giving tree was designed to help our fellow students receive much needed supplies and in some cases a gift or two to make their holidays a little brighter.  This is also done in conjunction with our MAVS Food Drive for the Winter Break to feed our MAVS families in need of a little kindness.
