WAYS TO SUPPORT MILLCREEK STUDENTS

Erie Gives Day 

MEF has participated in this community, 12-hour, annual day of giving for ten years. Benefactors must give on-line between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Checks must be received by the Erie Community Foundation by 5 p.m. the day before Erie Gives Day to be included in the match. The more gifts we receive, the greater our portion of the prorated  match! Corporate matching gifts will increase your gift to the Foundation! 

We want to get Brain & Body Break boxes into the hands of every K-5 students in Millcreek schools. These boxes, estimated at $10 each, will contain items that will engage students in Action Based Learning (ABL), fun projects and activities -  safely. From art supplies to pool noodles for cardio drumming, students helped select the fun items that can be used over and over. Some of the items may be purchased from MEF's Walmart Registry for Good site or you can donate to MEF and designate your gift to support this program. 

MEF is approved as an Education Improvement Organization and a Pre-K Scholarship Organization
