In-Kind Donations & Wish List


At RAWK, we offer all of our programs at no cost to students or families. In addition to operation costs, that also means covering the cost of a many supplies. We always need help and support from our community to make our work happen and we hope you’ll consider making a cash donation, spending some time volunteering with us, or taking a look at the following list for ideas about what we need to keep things RAWKing. 

Thank you!

Support with Snacks!

Growing, thinking, working brains need fuel! We’re always in need of snack support:

  • Gift cards to grocery stores like Midtown Fresh, PFC, Trader Joe’s, Costco, etc. Just $10 can provide a healthy snack for a RAWK Readers’ Room, after school program, or a workshop
