In a Nutshell

Donations help to purchase school uniforms, backpacks, and supplies for children in need

The Fine Print

The Issue: High Child Poverty Rate in New Haven

In 2011, the New Haven Register reported that the child poverty rate in New Haven was 43.7%, an alarmingly high rate and the second highest in Connecticut. Low-income children often require aid to ensure that they have the tools they need to succeed in school, such as uniforms, backpacks, and supplies.

The Campaign: Buying School Uniforms and Supplies for Kids

If this Grassroots campaign raises $400, then Covenant to Care for Children can provide five children with head-to-toe school uniforms, school supplies, and backpacks. Each additional $80 raised will provide these supplies to another student in need.

Covenant to Care for Children

Covenant to Care for Children aims to create a future where all Connecticut children have a caring support system and a safe place to live. Operating with this vision, the organization helps to mobilize community members to serve as advocates, mentors, and supporters for children who are neglected, abused, or impoverished. Additionally, its Children's Enrichment Fund collects critical items for children, including clothing and bed linens, and channels donations toward meeting the special needs and less ordinary requests of underserved youth, such as helping a child get a haircut, go to summer camp, or attend prom.

The Groupon Guide to: Treason

There are traitors everywhere trying to undermine the traditions, symbols, and really big statues that make countries great. Here are some treasonous acts that members of your community could be committing right now:

  • Blowing on your country’s national bird

  • Consuming your country’s national bagel without the accompanying delicious national cream cheese

  • Writing sexy, wizard-themed fan fiction about your country’s highest elected official

  • Keeping all of your patriotic badges of honor in a little coffin

  • Not reciting the national honor pledge in full, which goes: “On this day, this goofy day / I’ll represent my country in a silly way / I’ll wear my best sandals and show off my toe / I’ll boogie in the ways only my countrymen know”

  • Burping up the national flag as a magic trick

What’s so wrong with writing sexy fan fiction about the president?
