Support Rocketship families struggling to meet essential needs.

Our families are especially vulnerable to the destabilizing impacts of the COVID-19 crisis.  The vast majority of our families are classified as economically disadvantaged. Many of them work in the service economy earning hourly wages with no paid time off or sick leave. If they aren’t working, they aren’t earning. And the impact of lost wages on our families can be catastrophic. Lost housing. Food insecurity. Reduced access to healthcare. These are key factors that cause children to experience “toxic stress” which research has shown can derail student learning and delay child development. Help us ensure our families most basic needs are met during this crisis and our students will continue to learn and grow, even when schools are closed.
