The My Student In Need story…

The My Student in Need project caught on as other schools in Montana heard about the simple and easy way to help students who were in need. At the end of the of 2015/2016 school year, My Student in Need, and donors from across the State of Montana and beyond had fulfilled over 1,500 need requests from 70 schools in Montana. In the fall of 2016, the project grew to 130 schools being served across the State of Montana. Now in 2026, My Student in Need has completed 4,581 need requests and is currently in over 150 schools.

Our motto is simple: “By brokering the community’s kindness, we bring hope to the hopeless.”
