Community Giving
We are fortunate to live in an incredibly generous community, rich in compassion and enthusiasm for helping our neighbors in need. Throughout the year, there are many opportunities to contribute your time, energy and skills to serving the needs of Port Washington students and families. Opportunities include coat and clothing drives in the fall and spring, a toy drive in the winter and a year-round Angel network.
Port Washington Parents' Council Angel Network
The Parents' Council Angel Network is a coalition of compassionate Port Washington families and community members that quickly and equitably address critical needs as they arise across all the schools in our district.
The PW Parents’ Council always welcomes new Angels! Learn more about the effort, check out some program FAQs (FAQ en español) and sign up to support students in their moments of greatest need.

Stock the Pantries
Our local food pantries at Our Lady of Fatima and St. Peter's of Alcantara are always in need of staple food items. The Parents' Council maintains Amazon wishlists for both pantries to make it easier to donate year-round, on your schedule. You can even set up "Subscribe & Save" repeat deliveries for items you wish to donate on a regular basis.
