The Reality in our Classrooms The Reality in our Classrooms

Within District 303, over 350 children are currently experiencing homelessness. In an average classroom of 25 students, 2 to 3 children go home unsure of where their next meal will come from.

At Bell Graham, we believe we don't have to sit idly by. We have a vision that when parents and students come together, we can directly address the needs of our neighbors with compassion and dignity.
A Simple Box. Thousands of Meals. The MATTERbox Story

Our Partnership: The MATTERbox Event Our Partnership: The MATTERbox Event

Bell Graham is proud to partner with MATTER (a 501c3 non-profit) for a high-impact packing event. We are raising funds to provide MATTERbox resources—specialized kits designed to provide nutrition and essential care to those who need it most.

We are asking families to donate a MATTERbox that can help in one of two ways:
📦
A Snack Pack Box: Contains 40 nutritious, kid-friendly snack packs.
📦
A Hope Kit Box: Contains 20 kits filled with essential personal hygiene items.

Every single pack includes a
"You Matter" note—a handwritten message of encouragement from our Bell Graham families to the child receiving the kit. We will work with 303 to determine the right mix of boxes - both Snack Packs and Hope Kits - to best address the need in our community.

The Impact: Distribution with Dignity The Impact: Distribution with Dignity

Every donation is 100% tax-deductible. We are working directly with District 303 staff to identify the students who need these resources most. Kits will be distributed quietly and with the utmost dignity, ensuring that help reaches the right hands in a respectful way.
