Willow Glen Cares WGMS WGHS

Willow Glen Cares WGMS WGHS Willow Glen Cares supports under-resourced students at Willow Glen Middle and High School.

It may surprise some to know that about 30% of students at Willow Glen Middle and High School are underprivileged. They are struggling financially for many different reasons, and some are homeless. These young people face numerous barriers to graduating from high school and raising themselves out of their difficult situations. Since Willow Glen Cares began, 90% of students served by WG Cares have

improved their attendance, GPA, or both. By discreetly helping students meet their basic needs, and providing resources, encouragement, and enrichment, we help students improve their grades, attendance, test scores, and self-esteem. This reduces truancy and at-risk behaviors, and opens up many doors of opportunity.

WG Cares is collecting gently used or new uniforms THIS WEEK to replenish the supply closet at WGMS. If your kids have outgrown their WGMS uniform clothes, we'd love to give them a second life!
