First Place, based in Seattle WA, is more than a school for homeless children and families in crisis. It is a private, non-profit school and service agency devoted to helping children who are in transition, in crisis or homeless. First Place provides quality K-5 education and counseling and case management to help kids and families deal with traumatic situations. The students receive nutritious meals, clothing, school supplies, transportation, health screenings and referrals - all free of charge. In 2005, First Place became one of the first charities to establish a 529 plan to provide college scholarships to its alumni. The Today Show featured First Place as one of its top 5 charities in the nation in 2003. Hope, home, and education for every child, one family at a time. www.firstplaceschool.org
