The Gene and Marlene Epstein Humanitarian Fund recently donated $20,000 to Bristol Township School District to support students and their families in need.
The district formed a Gene Epstein Donation Fund Committee of social workers, school counselors and nurses to distribute the funds. They identified families in need and connected them with local resources and referrals, and carefully assessed what amount of money was needed.
Thanks to the substantial donation, the school district has been able to provide for several families experiencing hardships who were in dire need of rent, food, clothing, auto maintenance, and much more.
