My Student in Need: Requests for clothing

From Tribune reports

From the creator of My Neighbor in Need, www.mystudentinneed.org is a website that provides a private and nurturing way for teachers and faculty members to ask for help for a Student in Need and a way for the community to give back.

We would like to thank an anonymous donor who came into our office inside Times Square and paid $500 to fulfill every need request that appeared in last week’s Great Falls Tribune. You Rock.
