The Clark County School District (CCSD) is partnering with Purposity to support students experiencing homelessness. Purposity is a non-profit connecting users with one-to-one needs in the community through an online platform.
Community members can directly support CCSD students experiencing homelessness by downloading the Purposity app. CCSD’s Title I Homeless Outreach Program for Education (HOPE) launched a profile that provides community members regular updates on ways they can support students through simple donations from their smartphones. The app shows users exactly what will be purchased if they choose to donate and tracks each donor’s contribution as they donate!
CCSD currently serves approximately 13,000 students who are considered homeless under federal law.
Community members who sign up for Purposity and follow CCSD will receive a weekly notification highlighting the needs of students with links to help. Possible student needs may include everyday items for personal grooming to simple household items for a family who recently lost their home.
Those who sign up receive an alert with a link to a story of an individual in need and can then choose to meet that need right on their phone. The requested item is in the hands
of the organization in just a few days. It takes one notification, under a minute, and a few clicks to make a difference for a fellow community member.
To join the community in supporting CCSD students, download the Purposity app from the App Store or go to www.purposity.com/@ClarkCountySchoolDistrict on the web. Follow the Clark County School District and discover a student need today.
