Take Action with Us
When times feel uncertain, one of the most powerful things we can do is take action. At Greater Than, we believe in creating opportunities for students and families to thrive—especially our refugee, migrant, immigrant, and newcomer students, who bring incredible resilience and strength to our communities.
Right now, you can be part of the solution.
Here are three ways to take action today:
Volunteer at the Free Food Market at Lincoln Street Elementary!
Help families access fresh, healthy food by volunteering at our Free Food Market, a monthly event that serves about 120 families in our community. Whether you have just an hour or the full shift to spare, your help makes a real difference!
🥕 Market Set Up & Pack Delivery Boxes (3:00-4:15 PM)
Assist in packing food boxes with fresh produce and shelf-stable pantry items while setting up for a market-style experience for families.
🛒 Market-Style Helper (4:00-6:30 PM)
Support families by distributing produce, managing the line, breaking down boxes, and ensuring a welcoming and smooth experience.
If you have a large group or party, reach out directly to Elizabeth at elizabethr@greater-than.org.
2. Inspire Future Careers—Join Us for Career Day!
Support Career Day at one of our schools by sharing your career journey with students and helping to spark their curiosity about future possibilities. We are looking for professionals from all backgrounds and industries to interact with students in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate way!
Whether you're a teacher, artist, engineer, chef, healthcare worker, entrepreneur, or anything in between, your story can inspire the next generation. Join us in shaping students’ futures!

3. Support Critical Needs for Families—Give to Our Community Resource Fund
We’re working to raise $15,000 to provide direct assistance to families facing urgent financial hardships. Our Community Resource Fund helps cover emergency rent, utilities, food, and other essential needs so that students and their families can remain stable and supported.
Every dollar makes a difference. Join us in ensuring families have the resources they need to thrive.
