Delivering Hope
Assemblymember Monica Wallace received state funding for Delivering Hope from the local nonprofit, The Teacher's Desk. As a result of the strong partnership that Monica Wallace has with Superintendent Andrea Galenski and the Cheektowaga-Sloan School Dsitrict, she wanted to use some of the funds allocated to The Teacher's Desk to give free school supplies to Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.
