1970 to assist low-income, Tacoma Public School students in need, by helping
with basic necessities or special items that would otherwise be a barrier to
attendance and participation at school. Students can access the fund
through their school's counselor or Family/Community Liaison. The
majority of funds come from TPS staff who donate through the annual United Way
Campaign. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:
