ESF Cardinals Care Fund - Request for Emergency Assistance

The Eudora Schools Foundation's Cardinals Care Fund was created to assist principals and counselors in meeting urgent, immediate and basic necessities of Eudora students, to ensure that the student's physical, social and emotional needs do not stand in the way of their success in school. This program helps fill needs unmet by any other source.

Operation Caring Nomination

Operation Caring allows referred/selected students in the most need of a wardrobe to be taken shopping with school staff during the school day or online. This program is based on the values of confidentiality and dignity. It is a confidential process on which students are selected and also allowing the student to have dignity in selecting their own new clothing.     

Students selected will be given a budget of $100 to spend on appropriate seasonal clothing items.  This could be items like jeans, hoodies, socks, shirts, underwear, and shoes. The Eudora Schools Foundation partners with area churches, Kohl's, and Buffalo Wild Wings to provide this opportunity.
