The William C. Hughley School also known as 29Q116 is located is South East queens in Jamaica. We are a Title1 school since 95% of the families are low-income families. We consider our school to be a multi-cultural school since our students are diverse from many countries. We have children from the Caribbean, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, Bangladesh, India and of course from the U.S.A. We are a zoned school for Two Temporary Housing Shelters in the area. We have about 75 students from the STH (students in temporary housing) and multiple families who are doubled up. These are the students we pay most attention to, to give support since they are coming from broken homes, abused, loss home, domestic violence, among other things, that may put them in this situation. We give them comfort, love and support because they need it the most. No one knows what these students are going through.

The gifts and pantry you all send is given to these families. They look forward to the pantry bags on Fridays, knowing they have something extra for the weekend and the students look forward to that gift for Christmas. Their faces light up like bulbs when they come into the office and we hand them that bag with a toy. Some cry, some hug without letting go knowing this is the only gift they will receive. What the Church On The Hill is doing for these students and families is above and beyond. Your help is a miracle for these families. We cannot thank your organization enough for the support. The help, support, work, and dedication that you all are doing for our school community is truly appreciated. May God bless you and keep you all safe. A MILLON THANKS TO CHURCH ON THE HILL.
