CavsCare Program
The CavsCare Program mission is to serve students who may be facing financial challenges and in need of a little extra help with obtaining daily necessities. We believe students who are striving to do well academically should have the opportunity to ensure their focus can be on their education; rather than the stress of meeting their basic needs. Our belief is that as a student body, if we can assist those who may need a little more support, we will not only be improving individual lives, but will also be improving our overall community as these students work to become contributing members of society.
