We would like to thank everyone who reached out to help our Barrow County School System family. Your outpouring of support has been a bright light during this dark time.

HOW CAN I HELP?

The Barrow Community Foundation, a local non-profit agency, has been a valued partner of the Barrow County School System (BCSS) for several years.

The Barrow Community Foundation has established a designated fund, the "Barrow Community Crisis Fund," to collect donations and support those in need during this time. Grants from the fund will be distributed by a committee of community leaders to organizations, including the Barrow County School System (BCSS), as well as other local agencies and non-profits. The fund is intended to ensure a collective recovery for the entire community.
