Cobb Churches Generously Give to Help Students & Families

The Cobb Schools Foundation has been the recipient of local generosity perpetuated through our community of faith. We cannot possibly share our gratitude with each member of these congregations, but we do want everyone to know that our community of faith supports student
success every day in Cobb, and we notice.

The Cobb Schools Foundation, this year alone, has been the recipient of over $ 150,000 in support of technology needs throughout the Cobb County School District that serves over 112,000 students. Nearly half of our students qualify for free or reduced lunch each year. The
needs of students have increased significantly due to the effects of the pandemic. Student safety and well-being is a priority for everyone, and many leaders from our community of faith have expressed their concerns. Economic barriers exist in a virtual or face-to-face setting and
because of the growing support from the community, we are able to continue supporting the increased number of families who find themselves in shelters or nearly homeless.

North Metro Church shared that they asked their church whether or not the community would miss them if they were to disappear. They consistently work towards taking deliberate actions to “be missed.” Without the support of our community of faith, we want to share what Cobb students would miss without you:

  • Your unwavering thoughts and prayers for safety and success
  • Your in-kind support of social-emotional support
  • Your in-kind support of seeking shelter for homeless families
  • Your financial support, aiding in technology, scholarships, and equipment
  • Your relationships that offer steady support for both students and faculty

On behalf of everyone with the Cobb Schools Foundation, as simple as it sounds: Thank You

We cannot possibly say it too often. We notice your generosity; you are making a difference throughout our community; we appreciate your support of all students throughout Cobb.
