The OCPS McKinney-Vento Program supports the almost 9,000 students identified as experiencing homelessness in Orange County. Your giving goes directly to support students experiencing housing transition. No matter how small or large, your giving helps to make the holiday season so much brighter for our students.

For additional information on the McKinney-Vento Program, please email us at helphomeless@ocps.net or call 407-317-3485.

Bring a smile to our homeless student's faces this holiday season!

With the recent hurricanes our numbers are increasing daily. With over 5,000 identified homeless students already, we are on track to end the year with over 9,000 students. Despite the increase, we are VERY short on donations this year.

YOU can help in one of four ways...

1. Click this link and donate money or click on our Amazon link. No amount is too little. We appreciate every give. https://give.livingtree.com/c/shine-a-light-holiday-giving

2. Go to  https://tinyurl.com/mvpgifts and choose a gift from our Amazon wish list. When you check out, choose the 445 West Amelia Address for OCPS Homeless and Migrant and it will be sent directly to us.

3. Choose your own gift from any store or sale you see. If it is online have it delivered to OCPS Homeless and Migrant Education 8th Floor, 445 West Amelia Street, Orlando, Florida 32801.

4. If you are local we can pick up gifts you purchase OR even better if your office would be able to host a gift drive, we will come pick up the gifts!

Our 215 schools will come pick up gifts for students at a Holiday Shopping Day on December 13th, so all gifts are needed by then.

If you can help, please consider supporting our students! 

Thank you for your support!
