Conn Cares
Conn PTA's Conn Cares program builds Thanksgiving food bins for Conn families, coordinates the holiday Giving Tree program, provides clothing and hygiene products for our students, and supports other needs identified by our school. Conn Cares also coordinates the Junior League of Raleigh's weekly BackPack Buddies program which provides weekend meals and snacks for Conn students in need.
During the busy holiday season, please consider helping Conn families by making a donation to our annual Giving Tree! Conn's Giving Tree will be set up in the school's front lobby from November 18-December 16, 2025.
It’s easy to support Conn families! Grab as many Corey Cougar paw print ornaments as you would like. Keep the ornament as a small thank you and return the specified gift card to the front office by December 16. If you are unable to grab an ornament, but would like to participate, please email conncares@connpta.org. Thank you in advance for helping make the holiday season magical for all of our students!
Only have a little amount of time to give? Help us make a BIG impact with backpack buddies!
Volunteers are needed every Wednesday between 12-1p to pick up and deliver food for our schools “Backpack Buddies” program.
BackPack Buddies is designed to provide children experiencing food insecurity with nutritious, kid-friendly, pre-packed meals for the weekend—when they would not have access to a school’s free lunch and breakfast.
