This organization helps find private-sector partners for basic services that are critical to a child’s ability to learn, but are not within the primary mission or budget of the public education system. Since the national organization’s Southern Nevada affiliate launched in 2003, thousands of Clark County School District students have received medical care, food, clothing and other essential services.
