The Hornet Cares Fund

 

The Edina Ed Fund has partnered with district leadership groups to create the Hornet Cares Fund; a tax‑deductible financial contribution that provides direct support to Edina Public Schools' families and staff facing temporary hardship, helping ensure stability, dignity, and continued access to school and community resources. Give here.

 

In addition, the site includes opportunities to volunteer and get involved in support efforts throughout Edina and the greater Twin Cities area. Together, we can bring much-needed help to our friends and neighbors who are in need. 

 

If you need help, please reach out to our school social worker, cultural liaison, school administrator, or any school teacher. They are ready to support you and provide you with information.
