Eva Russell, sanctuary in good times and bad

For over 30 years, Eva Russell School has been a sanctuary for at-risk youth, ministering to their physical, mental, and spiritual needs. This has been especially true during the pandemic.While COVID-19 threatens to rob people of their health and life, it has already robbed many of their daily wage jobs. Due to massive unemployment, the school has been disbursing food rations since April to all of our school children's families.

Additionally, school staff distributed materials to help children and families stay physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy while sheltering at home. Kids Alive partners have also contributed extra funds as well as essential items like masks to help the school provide for and protect some of the neediest children and families.
