SoWashCo CARES

SoWashCo CARES - South Washington County, Community Action Reaching Every Student, is a fiscally sponsored project of the South Washington County Schools Education Foundation, which is a 501c3, serving all or parts of the communities of Cottage Grove, Newport, St. Paul Park, Woodbury, Afton, Denmark and Grey Cloud Island - Eastern suburbs of St. Paul, Minnesota. The goal of SoWashCo CARES is to encourage and support community, to give help and get help, in their local community. Through the SoWashCo CARES Facebook and Instagram page, followers in the community can see posts requesting specific items for families in need. Requested items could be anything, from food, clothes, toiletries, gas cards, and more. In partnership with ISD833, these items can be dropped off at school's throughout the district, and go directly to the students and families who are in need.
