Every child deserves a backpack filled with
necessary school supplies for school
and one-on-one support from a trusted adult.

From dog walks and family yard sales to car washes and birthday and graduation tributes - our supporters found creative ways to generate $100 to provide customized backpacks, individual tutoring and mentoring and college assistance for students impacted by homelessness.
This Challenge is generously matched each year - up to $10,000 - by longtime supporters of School on Wheels, Claudia & Jay Weed and Family. Their personal and financial contributions have changed the lives of hundreds of students throughout Massachusetts who, while facing the uncertainty and disruption of homelessness, receive the educational tools, personalized encouragement and academic guidance needed to stay on track in school.
A message from jay and claudia Weed:
"It has been our honor to support School on Wheels for the past fourteen years.
Investing in education is the wisest and most fulfilling action we can take.
We have seen first hand how effective the one-on-one tutoring program is
as we have marveled over the countless heartwarming success stories.
When we donate to School on Wheels we are 100% certain
that every cent will be used thoughtfully and effectively
to make a beautiful, lasting improvement
in the lives of children.
It just doesn’t get any better than that."
