Ballard High raising money to support BHS families in need

Ballard High School is raising funds to help BHS families who have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, and has already collected $22,000 in the first few days of fundraising.

The fundraiser, called Ballard Cares, is a partnership between the Ballard High School Foundation, the Ballard High School PTSA, and Ballard High School.

“Members of our community have lost jobs, had to close businesses, gotten sick, had family members move home and even had loved ones pass away,” the fundraiser website reads. “We love that Ballard is a community that comes together to support each other and when one of us is impacted, it impacts us all.”

Ballard Cares will help provide monthly assistance for food and basic needs for families in crisis. BHS Principal Keven Wynkoop will be helping identify emergent needs for families: “This includes items like food, clothing or gasoline, but could also include a printer to allow for digital learning, rental assistance, and more.”

If your family is in need of assistance, BHS says contact either your student’s counselor or an administrator at school to let them know what they can do to help.
