NAMI’s African-American Leadership Initiative Helps Teachers
Make It Through the Winter
As a part of the African-American
Leadership Initiative Committee of NAMI’s commitment to
service Toledo’s African-American community, the committee
assembled 100 Teacher Winter Bags filled with disinfecting
wipes, tissue, pens, pencils and post-its to assist teachers
at Elle P. Stewart Academy for Girls and Martin Luther King
Academy for Boys.
The donations were dropped off on
Monday, January 6- a day that was also Teachers’ Work Day.
NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental
Illness, is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health
organization dedicated to building better lives for the
millions of Americans affected by mental illness. |
