Stars is a registered 501(c)(3) organization. We send out monthly contribution statements for all tax-exempt donations and a receipt for income tax purposes at the end of the calendar year.

COVID-19 Responses
Gift
We continue to utilize our entire Stars staff team and have redeployed our after-school staff to meet the challenges of this season. Our incredible team is connecting with families and volunteers, gathering supplies, connecting with church and nonprofit partners, delivering meals, and creatively reimagining our programs online to continue our vital support systems for students. We need your financial support to continue this important work.
Supplies
The results of surveying our Stars families show we need toilet paper, feminine products, and non-perishable food items (particularly rice and beans). We also need masks, gloves, and cleaning products for staff delivering meals and supplies. We can receive donations at Villa 500 on Tuesday and Thursday from 11 am – 1 pm.
Time & Talent
Do you want to help deliver meals or supplies to families? Read to a student via FaceTime or Zoom? Help a student with online schoolwork? Please email Beth Winton for ways to get connected at bethw@gostars.org. Lastly, please Stars with others in your life that can join in our work.
Self-care
This crisis will take us all being aware of our interdependence – and relying on each other to flatten the curve. We have lots of COVID-19 resources on our website at gostars.org/covid.
