A coat. A meal. A pair of glasses. Simple things like these often stand between a child and their ability to learn. Care to Learn partners with schools and community members to fill these gaps and help keep students focused on what matters most.
Our mission is to provide immediate funding to meet emergent needs in the areas of health, hunger, and hygiene so every student can be successful in school.
Our Impact
In 2008, Care to Learn started as a charity in Springfield, MO, with one goal: To fill the gaps for students in the areas of health, hunger, and hygiene and to help kids living in poverty. What started out as one school partnership has now expanded to 40+ communities and counting.
