What an amazing display of community spirit!
Thanks to your fantastic support, the 2025 Spring Cleaning Clothing Drive was a resounding success! Together, we collected over 9,000 pounds of clothing and raised more than $2,500 to benefit students, teachers, and schools across the district.
The Foundation for MERS is so grateful to our generous community for your donations and encouragement every step of the way. Special thanks to the dedicated teachers and student volunteers who gave their time and energy to make this effort possible—you are the heart of our mission.
A warm thank you as well to Goldy’s Ice Cream for their generous donation—your support truly sweetened the impact!
“This drive was about more than clothing—it was about community,” said Ricardo G. Rivers, President of The Foundation for MERS. “We witnessed people coming together to lift up our schools and one another. That’s the kind of impact that lasts.”
Together, we are making a difference—one act of kindness at a time.
Thank You for your support!
