Dallas City Council members Adam Medrano and Philip Kingston, Dallas County Schools board member Omar Narvaez and DISD School board President Miguel Solis were at Havana last night to accept donations of school supplies from LULAC, Congregation Beth El Binah, Resource Center, AIDS Healthcare Foundation, DIVA, Stonewall Democrats of Dallas and Texas Latino Gay Pride.
The donations went to Maple Lawn Elementary School and Rusk Middle School in Oak Lawn, two of the poorest schools in DISD.
In addition, LULAC made a $400 donation to Promise House in Oak Cliff. Promise House is a shelter for homeless youth and works with Youth First and Resource Center to care for homeless LGBT youth.
