Ready, Set, School!
May - July
This is your chance to help a child start off their school year
on the best foot possible. Sponsors receive the name, age, sizes
and school grade of their child. Sponsors then go out and purchase
their child a new outfit for the first day of school - including
new underwear, socks, and a gift certificate for new shoes. Sponsors
also purchase grade-appropriate school supplies and a new backpack
for their child. At the end of July all the items are placed in
the backpack and brought to Inter-Faith. Children will come here
and pick up their new items the week before school starts. This
program is so amazing because for many children it is the only
time they receive new things that are just for them. It's an incredible
boost to their self-esteem as they start the new school year.
Thanksgiving Baskets
September - November
Collect items needed for Thanksgiving Baskets or donate "Turkey
Bucks" (money that is used to purchase turkeys, produce and
items that we don't get enough of through our donation collections).
Inter-Faith will be distributing almost 900 complete Thanksgiving
Baskets the Saturday before Thanksgiving. These baskets include
all the items needed for Thanksgiving day. The families and seniors
that receive these baskets would not have anything for this holiday
without help from the community.

Adopt-a-Family or Senior
for the December Holidays
September - December
Sponsors receive information on their family or senior and purchase
all new clothing and gifts as well as a gift certificate for the
holiday meal. Items for the family or senior are brought to Inter-Faith
and the families come here and pick up your generous donations.
This program makes a huge impact on those who receive it. Without
help they would not have anything to celebrate.
