Knowing that a strong early educational foundation prepares students for more advanced secondary and collegiate courses, Anderson contacted the pantry about making a donation. By the end of the call he realized that his action could be multiplied by others in the community if he set up a matching donation challenge. Fractal Science and Match Academy will match school supplies donations to the Human Needs Food Pantry (up to $150).
“The Human Needs Pantry helps hundreds of families in the area with supplemental nutrition assistance. Their clients include the elderly and disabled, but also families who have fallen on hard financial times.” said Anderson. “For so many of us a job loss, illness, or injury can put us in the very same position. As an educator I like to challenge my students to find the solutions on their own, by establishing this match I hope to challenge the community to come together to support the education of children in our area.” The Human Needs Pantry is collecting new school supplies including notebooks, pens, calculators, crayons, backpacks, and anything children need to begin the new school year. According to Michael Bruno, Director of the Pantry, donations are short of where they usually are this time of year. Anderson hopes that his match-challenge will get the donations back on track.
“So many of the great minds of the last century came from humble beginnings, the person who makes a major medical breakthrough, discovers new fuel sources, or designs the cities of the future might be right here in Montclair, Bloomfield, Verona, or Fairfield. With a strong early education these kids will excel.”
Fractal Science and Math Academy will match donations of school supplies to the Human Needs Food Pantry up to $150. Donations can be made at the Human Needs Pantry on Tuesday and Thursdays or any day at the Fractal Academy in Montclair. About Fractal Science and Math Academy
