This is your chance to work with families and children to ensure they can start the new school year off on the right foot. Personal shoppers take low-income families through the back to school shop to "shop" for school supplies, shoes, backpacks, and clothing for the new school year.
Every year Guardian Angel provides school supplies, shoes, backpacks, and clothing to low-income children in elementary, middle and high school. Last year the Back to School Program served over 600 children.
I. Personal shoppers are needed to take families around the shop to gather supplies needed to start the new school year off on the right foot. Morning and afternoon shifts are available or stay all day. This is a great opportunity for older kids and youth as well as adults.
II. Break Down help is required at the end of the event to get all the supplies packed up and returned to Guardian Angel. We need help packing things up and moving boxes to respective agency vehicles. This would be an excellent opportunity for a medium group of around 6-12 people.
Your help will ensure low-income children and their parents can focus on what counts - getting a great education.

Mission Statement
The mission of Guardian Angel Settlement Association is to serve under-resourced community members by helping them improve the quality of their lives and achieve economic independence.
Description
For over 165 years, Guardian Angel’s programs have addressed the range of needs that our neighbors face daily. Our approach is flexible, personal, and compassionate - working 1:1 to gain an understanding of each person’s unique situation. Our goal is to offer a community hub for services and support. Our Early Childhood Education, Social Stability programs, and Self-Sufficiency Workshops allow us to provide a hand-up, not a handout, to those we serve. After basic needs are met, we walk alongside each individual to connect them to holistic support, self-sufficiency classes, and the guidance they need to build a brighter future.
By 2034, Guardian Angel Settlement Association will transform the lives of 5,000 community members annually through equitable access to resources and education leading to self-sufficiency and holistic well-being. We will be their Guardian Angel.
