Dear TOPS friends,

Some TOPS families have been hit especially hard by the continuing pandemic -- out of work due to COVID or experiencing overwhelming financial setbacks -- and we all have been looking for ways to help each other. Here’s an opportunity to directly help those families that are in need right now, right within our own TOPS community.

Please consider donating to this GoFundMe to help those in our community who need assistance.

We’ve helped nearly 30 families since March with grocery store gift cards, and as colder weather arrives and the economy comes back more slowly, we've realized the need goes beyond gift cards.

To maintain privacy, although a group of families is organizing fundraising, a wellness team of TOPS administrators (including Ms. Schwentor and Ms. Hanson) will be completely and confidentially handling the distribution of funds.

If you are a TOPS family in need of assistance due to COVID-19: Please email TOPS K-8 principal Amy Schwentor at [email redacted] or school counselor Kathy Hanson at [email redacted]

Thanks for your generosity,

TOPS COVID Emergency Family Support Fund Organizers
Justine Guarda and Fernando Vázquez
Nick Barnett and Ben Alton
Teri and Matt Gaines
Tim and Melissa Ahlers

Additionally, the Friends of TOPS  501c3 (the non-profit arm of Site Council) is actively discussing with financial consultants ways to legally contribute funds to this effort.
