"In the face of a growing crisis, we must act now to ensure that every child at Wiley Elementary School has a chance to learn and thrive. With rising poverty rates, discontinued safety net programs, and the increasing cost of living, our mission to provide food, housing, and essentials has never been more critical." - The Cecilia Rawlins Fund Board of Directors

 

OUR GOAL

The Cecilia Rawlins Fund 2023/2024 goal is to raise $50,000 to close an unprecedented gap between our current funds and the rising financial needs of Wiley families.

Today, more than ever, your giving is crucial.

 
 

MISSION

The Cecilia Rawlins Fund supports students and families at Wiley Elementary School (based in Raleigh, NC) community who require essential living assistance such as food, housing, and other necessities.

Vision

We see a future at Wiley Elementary School where all our students are well-fed with secure housing. Through our partnerships and giving from the local community, we imagine a day when our support helps Wiley families to not only meet their basic needs but also to gain stability.

I believe this program is so invaluable. I know that my students will not be hungry on the weekends. This is incredibly important for their well being.
